Associations between the Mediterranean lifestyle and incident age-related eye diseases
Background: The Mediterranean lifestyle (MEDLIFE) is generally considered to have a positive effect on several health outcomes. However, little is known about its impact on age-related eye diseases. We aimed to assess the effect of MEDLIFE on the risk of three such diseases: cataract, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods: We included 113 829 participants from the UK Biobank who were free of age-related eye diseases at bas…
Early‐life family and school impacts on adolescent conduct problems
Limited research has been conducted to examine the factors during early childhood that may contribute to conduct problems in later stages of life. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between family and school environments during early childhood and conduct problems in adolescence. In Wave 1 (W1), the study recruited 502 participants, aged 5–6 years, from Hong Kong local kindergartens, with 51.4% boys. One of their parents provided in…
Cost-effectiveness analysis of myopia management
The rising prevalence of myopia is a major global public health concern. Economic evaluation of myopia interventions is critical for maximizing the benefits of treatment and the healthcare system. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of interventions for treating myopia. Five databases were searched – Embase, Emcare, PubMed, Web of Science, and ProQuest – from inception to July 2022 and a total of 2,099 articles were id…
Visual Acuity and Contrast Sensitivity in Preterm and Full-Term Children Using a Novel Digital Test
Visual assessment in preverbal children mostly relies on the preferential looking paradigm. It requires an experienced observer to interpret the child's responses to a stimulus. DIVE (Device for an Integral Visual Examination) is a digital tool with an integrated eye tracker (ET) that lifts this requirement and automatizes this process. The aim of our study was to assess the development of two visual functions, visual acuity (VA) and contrast sen…
Using Latent Class Analyses to Examine Health Disparities among Young Children in Socially Disadvantaged Families during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Rising income inequality is strongly linked to health disparities, particularly in regions where uneven distribution of wealth and income has long been a concern. Despite emerging evidence of COVID-19-related health inequalities for adults, limited evidence is available for children and their parents. This study aimed to explore subtypes of families of preschoolers living in the disadvantaged neighborhoods of Hong Kong based on patterns of family…
Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on School-Aged Children’s Physical Activity, Screen Time, and Sleep in Hong Kong
Despite concerns about the negative effects of social distancing and prolonged school closures on children's lifestyle and physical activity (PA) during the COVID-19 pandemic, robust evidence is lacking on the impact of the pandemic-related school closures and social distancing on children's wellbeing and daily life. This study aimed to examine changes in the PA levels, sleep patterns, and screen time of school-aged children during the different …
