Measuring health-related social deprivation in small areas: Development of an index and examination of its association with cancer mortality
Our newly developed SDI is a valid and routinely available measurement of social deprivation in small areas and is useful in resource allocation and policy-making for public health purpose in communities. There is a potential large improvement in cancer mortality by offering relevant policies and interventions to reduce health-related deprivation. Further studies can be done to design strategies to reduce the expanding health inequalities between…
A Projection of Future Hospitalisation Needs in a Rapidly Ageing Society: A Hong Kong Experience
To assess the impact of ageing on hospitalisation in a rapidly ageing society. A study using retrospective and prospective data was conducted using hospitalisation data with age-specific admission rates in the period from 2001−2010 and demographic data from the period of 2001−2066 by the United Nations. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) with a 7 million population experiences extreme low fertility (1.1 children per woman) and long…
Impacts of sectoral emissions in China and the implications: Air quality, public health, crop production, and economic costs
China has experienced considerable economic losses from a severe deterioration in air quality. To solve this, a comprehensive understanding of the impacts and sources of air pollution is necessary. This study aimed to quantify the environmental and human health impacts of PM 2.5 and O 3 pollution from the six major emission-producing sectors in China. We utilized a chemical transport model to simulate the air quality impacts engendered by sectora…
Seasonal Differences in the Day-of-the-Week Pattern of Suicide in Queensland, Australia
Various temporal patterns of suicide events, according to time of day, day of week, month and season, have been identified. However, whether different dimensions of time interact has not been investigated. Using suicide data from Queensland, Australia, this study aims to verify if there is an interaction effect between seasonal and day-of-the-week distribution. Computerized suicide data from the Queensland Suicide Register for those aged 15+ year…
Temporal patterns of charcoal burning suicides among the working age population in Hong Kong SAR: The influence of economic activity status and sex
The traditional classification of suicide methods as either violent or nonviolent tends to elide the temporal variations of specific methods. The interaction between sex and economic activity status observed in the present study indicates that sex should be taken into consideration when investigating the influence of economic activity status on temporal variations of suicide. This finding also suggests that suicide prevention efforts should be bo…
An economic evaluation of setting up physical barriers in railway stations for preventing railway injury: Evidence from Hong Kong
BACKGROUND: Setting physical barriers, for example platform screen doors (PSDs), has been proven to be effective in preventing falls onto railway tracks, but its cost-effectiveness is not known. For economic evaluation of public health interventions, the importance of including non-health factors has been noted despite a lack of empirical studies. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of PSDs, which are installe…
