Body mass index trajectories and all-cause mortality in older Chinese adults
BACKGROUND: Weight loss at older ages appears to be associated with higher mortality in Western and some East Asian countries, despite differences in the prevalence of obesity; whether it is relevant to China is unknown. We examined the association of body mass index (BMI) trajectories with all-cause mortality in older Chinese adults by sex and baseline age (65-69 years, 70+ years). METHODS: 54 160 participants aged 65 or above from Hong Kong's E…
Low level of knowledge of heart attack symptoms and inappropriate anticipated treatment-seeking behaviour among older Chinese
BACKGROUND: Prehospital delay of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is common globally, and Hong Kong-home of a rapidly ageing Chinese population-is not an exception. Seeking emergency medical care promptly is important for patients. Treatment-seeking behaviours have been shown to be associated with knowledge of AMI symptoms and specific cultural beliefs. This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge of AMI symptoms and expected treatment-seek…
Alcohol intake and death from cancer in a prospective Chinese elderly cohort study in Hong Kong
BACKGROUND: In observational studies of Western populations, moderate alcohol use is usually associated with lower cancer mortality rates. However, moderate alcohol use (regular drinking of moderate amounts) is socially patterned. Evidence from other contexts can clarify such observations. We examined the association of moderate alcohol use with death from cancer in older Chinese adults from a developed non-Western setting, where occasional alcoh…
