Prof. Wong Hung (Principal Investigator) and his research team of a Strategic Public Policy Research (SPPR) Project titled “Trends and Implications of Poverty and Social Disadvantages in Hong Kong: A Multi-disciplinary and Longitudinal Study” has published a journal paper.
The journal paper titled “Socioeconomic disadvantages over the life-course and their influence on obesity among older Hong Kong Chinese adults” by Mr. Gary Chung, Dr. Francisco Lai, Mr. Dicken Chan, Prof. Wong Hung, Prof. Eng-Kiong Yeoh and Prof. Roger Chung has been published in European Journal of Public Health, a SSCI (Q2) and multidisciplinary journal in the field of public health, publishing contributions from social medicine, epidemiology, health services research, management, ethics and law, health economics, social sciences, and environmental health.
The authors examined the associations of socioeconomic positions (SEPs) across life stages and their associated life-course models with both general and abdominal obesity. The paper concluded that low SEP, especially in childhood, exerted contrasting effects on general and abdominal obesity among older Hong Kong Chinese adults. The three life-course models operated simultaneously in determining the risk of abdominal obesity, while support for cumulative risk and social mobility models was weak in general obesity.
