"Habitual short and long sleeper in middle-aged Hong Kong Chinese: epidemiological, clinical, and polysomnographic study". Thesis, 2005. http://library.cuhk.edu.hk/record=b6073999.
Testo completoConclusion. Our study suggested that sleep duration of human being has marked inter-individual variability with existence of extreme sleepers at both ends. Throughout different phases of the study, there was a consistent negative relationship between sleep duration and socio-economic status. Our finding of unique personality profile between short and long sleepers supported the hypothesis that different personality trait (neuroticism trait) might mediate between sleep duration and socioeconomic variables. Further studies are indicated for investigating genetic as well as biological correlates between personality traits and sleep duration.
Method. Three phases were involved in this research to explore epidemiological, psychological, and PSG characteristics of HSS and HLS.
Phase three: 72 subjects (23 HSS, 41 HNS, and 8 HLS) were assessed by two nights PSG to be followed by multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). 37 subjects (6 HSS, 21 HNS, and 10 HLS) were assessed by four-day Actiwatch. In the first night of PSG assessment, HLS had lower sleep efficiency and longer sleep and REM latency than HSS and HNS. In the second night, REM density in HLS was higher than HSS and HNS. In MSLT, HSS (50.0%) was more likely to have mildly short sleep latency than HLS (0%). Multiple regression of these healthy sleepers suggested that shorter sleep duration was found in those subjects (a) attaining higher education level; (b) suffering from higher life stress; (c) having more sleepiness; and (d) having less neuroticism.
Phase two: 252 subjects attended the face-to-face clinical interview. Among them, there were 33 HSS-7 and 25 HLS-9. After controlling gender and age, HSS had more chance to earn more money, live in larger house, drank more alcohol, and lower neuroticism than HLS.
Result. Phase one: Brief sleep questionnaires with consent were administered to parents of students in 13 primary schools in 2003, and 10381 parents returned their questionnaires (response rate ≈ 67.9%). 593 subjects were excluded because of their incomplete information. Altogether, 9788 subjects were considered as eligible subjects that represented noninstitutionalized Chinese middle-age residents in Hong Kong (47.0% men vs 53.0% women, mean age: 40.9 years +/- 4.9 years [SD]). There were 322 (3.3%) HSS-7 (≤7 hours), 1415 (14.5%) HLS-9 (≥9 hours), and 481 (4.9%) HLS-10 (≥10 hours). HSS had more chance to attain higher education level, earn more money and drank more tea/coffee than HLS.

Testo completo研究食物和慢性阻塞性肺病及肺功能的關係。
《研究設計與對象》
採用回歸性病例對照的方法。病例及對照來自社區,慢性阻塞性肺病由肺功能測試診斷(FEV1/FVC比例少於0.7)。共612人符合進入研究的條件﹝252個病例和360個對照﹞。
《資料收集》
兩名受過訓練的研究員,對所有研究對象進行面對面訪問,一名研究員為其做肺功能測試,另一名研究員做問卷調查,問卷內容包括吸煙習慣、飲食習慣、職業暴露史、室內空氣污染物暴露、家族史、呼吸病病歷和病徵。食物問卷由NCI已經驗證的DHQI修改而成。
《資料分析》
按每月進食的總量將所有研究對象分為三組,運用非條件邏輯回歸模型擬合,控制了混雜因素後,計算出各類食物的總進食量對慢性阻塞性肺病的比值比及其95%致信區間。運用多元線回歸模型,控制了混雜因素後,分析各類食物的每月總進食量與肺功能指數的關係。
《結果》
控制了混雜因素後,總水果進食量與慢性阻塞性肺病成負相關,與第一分位組比較,第三位組的比值比(95%致信區間)為0.618(0.41-0.931),第一分位組的總水果進食量解釋了14.6%慢性阻塞性肺病的危險性。控制了混雜因素後,總十字科蔬菜進食量與慢性阻塞性肺病成負相關,與第一分位組比較,第三位組的比值比(95%致信區間)為0.596 (0.398-0.893),第一分位組的總十字科蔬菜進食量解釋了17.7%慢性阻塞性肺病的危險性。肺功能方面,控制了混雜因素後,總十字科蔬菜進食量與FVC成負相關
《結論》
進食水果和十字科蔬菜可能降低患上慢性阻塞性肺病的危險性。後者未曾在以往的研究發表過,值得進一步進行研究。慢性阻塞性肺病的預防措施應包括鼓勵進食這兩類食物。
Objectives
To investigate the relationship between dietary factors and risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as well as lung function in a middle-aged to older Chinese population.
Methods
This was an unmatched community-based case–control study. A total of 252 incident cases of COPD diagnosed by spirometry (FEV1/FVC ratio of < 70%) and 360 eligible controls were recruited.
Each participant received a health examination including spirometry and anthropometric measurement. A food frequency questionnaire, modified from the validated Diet History Questionnaire I designed by the National Cancer Institute, was administered to assess the habitual consumption of various dietary items. Information on confounding factors, including smoking, environmental tobacco exposure, biomass exposure, occupational exposure, family history, and respiratory health, was collected using a modified American Thoracic Society (ATS) respiratory questionnaire.
Unconditional logistic regression model was used to analyse the relationship between COPD and the dietary variables, while linear regression model was used to analyse the relationship between the dietary variables and lung function indices, adjusting
Cumulative total fruit intake was negatively associated with the risk of COPD. Compared with participants with the lowest tertile of cumulative total fruit intake, participants with the highest tertile had an adjusted OR of 0.618 (95% CI: 0.41-0.931)
Cumulative cruciferous vegetable intake was also negatively associated with the risk of COPD. Compared with participants with the lowest tertile of cumulative cruciferous vegetable intake, participants with the highest tertile had an adjusted OR of 0.
Regarding the relationships between dietary factors and lung function, positive associations were observed between cumulative total fruit intake and FEF25-75 (Beta=0.085). Higher intake of citrus fruit was also associated higher FEF25-75 (Beta=0.082).
Conclusion
Our results suggest that high consumption of fruit and cruciferous vegetable may protect against the development of COPD in middle-aged to elderly Chinese. COPD prevention strategy should encourage people to consume more fruit and cruciferous vegetabl

"A study of the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis and the associated risk factors in early postmenopausal Chinese women in Hong Kong". Thesis, 2006. http://library.cuhk.edu.hk/record=b6074127.
Testo completoConclusions. Our findings showed that age, SBP, HDL-C, and LDL-C were independent predictors of IMT, while age, LDL-C, and abdominal obesity were independent predictors of the presence of plaque. The optimal IMT cutoff of 0.783 mm was defined and that a prevalence of SA (IMT ≥ 0.783 mm) of 38.6% was found among 'healthy' early postmenopausal Chinese women in Hong Kong.
Methods. 518 women aged 50 to 64 years, and within 10 years since menopause were recruited from random telephone dialing. Women with surgical menopause, established cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and severe disease conditions such as cancer and renal failure were excluded. Sociodemographic, anthropometric and lifestyle factors were obtained based on standardized questionnaires. Fasting blood sample was also obtained. B-mode ultrasound was used for measuring IMT at 12 sites of the carotid arteries and plague index, which is the sum of the grades (ranged from 0 to 3) at the 6 segments. The relations between traditional risk factors, and other potential risk factors such as inflammatory markers, as well as lifestyle factors including physical activity, dietary intake, and psychological factors with SA were also assessed.
Results. The mean IMT +/- SD was 0.76 +/- 0.12 mm, with a range from 0.53 to 1.00 mm. IMT was higher on the far wall than on the near wall (P<0.01), and differ among segments (greatest at the bulb and least at the ICA) (P<0.01). One-fifth of women had at least 1 plaque in the carotid artery with most of the plaque occurred in the bulb area. IMT increased with age, and was positively associated with carotid plaque. With the use of receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, the optimal cutoff IMT for diagnostic plaque was 0.783 mm, at which sensitivity and specificity was 80.5% and 75.1%, respectively. The prevalence of SA was 38.6%. Among the traditional risk factors, systolic blood pressure (SBP), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were associated with high IMT. Abdominal obesity assessed by waist circumference (WC) and waist hip ratio (WHR) was also found to be positively associated with IMT. Stepwise multiple regression showed that age, SBP, HDL-C, and LDL-C were independent predictors of IMT. Multiple logistic regression showed that women with LDL-C ≥ 130 mg/dL were associated with a 2.4-fold (95% CI 1.5-3.7) higher risk of having plaque compared to those with LDL-C < 130 mg/dL. In addition, women with abdominal obesity (WHR ≥ 0.85) had a 1.7-fold (95% CI 1.08-2.67) higher risk of having plaque than women with WHR < 0.85 after adjustment for age, and potential confounders including physical activity, dietary intakes etc. Significant inverse associations were observed between physical activity and indices of obesity, as well as fasting blood glucose, while psychological perceived stress and trait anxiety were independent risk factors for both total cholesterol and LDL-C.

"A cohort study of soy protein intake and lipid profile in early postmenopausal Chinese women". Thesis, 2006. http://library.cuhk.edu.hk/record=b6074125.
Testo completoCoronary Heart Disease (CHD) is the major cause of death in most developed countries and is rapidly increasing in developing countries. Recent studies showed that natural menopause confers a threefold increase in CHD risk. While many risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity and physical inactivity contribute to the risk for CHD, lipid abnormalities are the major factor. Hyperlipidemia plays a central role in the atherosclerotic process. Recent studies showed that consuming soy, a food containing large amounts of soy protein, improves the plasma lipoprotein profile by decreasing total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides as well as increasing HDL level. Although soy is a main component of traditional Asian food, many of the studies on soy consumption have been conducted in Caucasian populations (table 1.2), among whom soy intake is rather low or almost nil, it was difficult to explore the association of soy protein intake and lipid profile in those populations. Soy products such as tofu and soymilk are traditional Chinese foods. With the changing dietary pattern, it gives rise to a range of intake from traditional to modern and increasing incidence of cardiovascular disease Hong Kong poses a unique opportunity for the investigation of the relation between soy protein intake and lipid profile.
For baseline age stratified subgroup analysis, our study results showed no association between soy protein intake and lipid pro file in women whose baseline age younger than 55.3 years old, but we did observe a positive association in women belonging to older subgroup. In the 12-month follow up analysis, for women whose baseline age was older than 55.3 years (mean age=58.4+/-2.1), after controlling for the potential confounders, soy protein intake was significantly associated with HDL cholesterol concentration (Linear Regression p=0.033, ANCOVA=0.011, P value for trend p=0.014), total cholesterol/HDL ratio (Linear Regression p=0.045) and LDL/HDL ratio (Linear Regression p=0.037). Similar observation was observed in the yearly change rate of HDL in 24-month follow up (Linear Regression p=0.047, P value for trend p=0.043).
For women whose initial cholesterol level was higher or equal to 200mg/dL, in our 2-year longitudinal analysis, after controlling for the potential confounders, soy protein intake was significantly associated with HDL (Linear Regression p=0.041) and cholesterol/HDL ratio (ANCOVA=0.022). We also observed a statistically significant trend for higher HDL cholesterol (p=0.038), with an increase of 11.4g in soy protein intake between the 1st and 3rd tertiles, our data showed a 3.8% increase in HDL.
In the 12-month longitudinal analyses, after controlling for the potential confounders, soy protein intake was significantly associated with HDL concentration (Linear Regression p=0.036). We also observed a statistically significant trend for higher HDL cholesterol (p=0.036), with an increase of 10.9g in soy protein intake between the 1st and 3rd tertiles, our data showed a 7.9% increase in HDL.
Methods. 307 women aged between 48 to 62 years were recruited from community subjects residing in housing estates in Shatin. Women within the first 12 years of menopause, with no history of malabsorption syndromes, chronic liver kidney diseases, parathyroid diseases, gastric operation or cancer and without currently taking lipid lowering therapy were included in the study. We estimated the dietary intake of soy foods and other key nutrients by using quantitative food frequency method. We recorded serum values of fasting cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides as well as other covariance measurement. Soy protein consumption was categorized as tertiles of intake and related to lipid profile.
Objectives. In order to study the relation between soy protein intake and lipid profile in the early postmenopausal Chinese women in Hong Kong, we conducted the study from February 2000 to February 2002, as a part of the population-based soy consumption and bone mineral density study. The hypothesis to be tested is that high intake of dietary soy protein has a beneficial effect on lipid profile in the early postmenopausal Chinese women in Hong Kong.
Results. In our cross-sectional analysis, our findings showed that habitual dietary soy protein intake had a weak but statistically significant correlation with triglyceride concentration (Linear Regression p=0.045, ANCOVA p=0.045 P value for trend p=0.023), and the soy protein beneficial effects were more pronounced in women whose % of total body fat were higher than 33.4%. After controlling for the potential confounders, soy protein intake was significantly associated with triglyceride concentration (Linear Regression p=0.048, P value for trend =0.021), the average decrease in triglycerides were 24.6% and 29.1 % in the 2nd and 3rd tertile compared with the 1st tertile respectively.
