  • Can China Achieve a One-Third Reduction in Premature Mortality
    Li et al. BMC Medicine (2017) 15:132 DOI 10.1186/s12916-017-0894-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Can China achieve a one-third reduction in premature mortality from non- communicable diseases by 2030? Yichong Li1, Xinying Zeng1, Jiangmei Liu1, Yunning Liu1, Shiwei Liu1, Peng Yin1, Jinlei Qi1, Zhenping Zhao1, Shicheng Yu2, Yuehua Hu2, Guangxue He2, Alan D. Lopez3, George F. Gao2, Linhong Wang1 and Maigeng Zhou1* Abstract Background: The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 include reducing premature mortality from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by one third. To assess the feasibility of this goal in China, we projected premature mortality in 2030 of NCDs under different risk factor reduction scenarios. Methods: We used China results from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 as empirical data for projections. Deaths between 1990 and 2013 for cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, cancer, and other NCDs were extracted, along with population numbers. We disaggregated deaths into parts attributable and unattributable to high systolic blood pressure (SBP), smoking, high body mass index (BMI), high total cholesterol, physical inactivity, and high fasting glucose. Risk factor exposure and deaths by NCD category were projected to 2030. Eight simulated scenarios were also constructed to explore how premature mortality will be affected if the World Health Organization’s targets for risk factors reduction are achieved by 2030. Results: If current trends for each risk factor continued to 2030, the total premature deaths from NCDs would increase from 3.11 million to 3.52 million, but the premature mortality rate would decrease by 13.1%.

  • Three Themes in Emerging Markets
    1 Three Themes in Emerging Markets September 30, 2020 We believe it can be dangerous to be overly reliant on thematics when positioning portfolios. Yet as growth investors, we are always looking for companies that are tied to supportive long-term structural drivers. Identifying these drivers is an important step toward pinpointing the undervalued companies with superior quality and growth characteristics—and we see a number of these investable themes today in emerging markets. Theme 1: Technology One investable theme in emerging markets is technology. E-commerce, 5G telecom, online education, distributed computing, and telemedicine have long outperformed more traditional, “old economy” industries, regardless of valuation differentials favoring the latter. In our view, the competitive positions of companies in these sectors are strengthening amid the downturn as pandemic-related stay-at-home measures have accelerated the move to a digital society. What had been a gradual 20-year shift to online life quickly gained speed, with healthcare, shopping, education, and work going digital almost overnight. We believe technology will likely lead the way out of this downturn. We find many of these technology-related opportunities in Asia, including China. 2 The Chinese government’s efforts to accelerate the cloud and 5G domestically are contributing to this as the government rolls out stimulus measures with a dual purpose: to stimulate the economy and make China hyper- competitive from a 5G perspective. A desire in China to have more local technology software and hardware suppliers is also supportive of this trend, as is a growing and broader set of technology customers within China.

EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEALTH AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: THE CASE OF CHINA By Li Hongyan and Bill Durodié Historical evidence suggests that economic development has been central to improving public health. This NTS Alert takes a closer look at the relationship between the two by reviewing the case of China, a nation which has witnessed great changes both in its economy and the health of its population in the decades since the Second World War. China’s experience shows that solid infrastructure, better nutrition and rising hygiene and sanitation standards are the foundation stones of improved health. Economic growth is also central as it allows for sustainable progress in the long term if funds are channelled towards building basic infrastructure as well as addressing health and social needs.

  • The Nutritional Transition and Diet-Related Chronic Diseases in Asia: Implications For

Popkin, Sue Horton, and Soowon Kim Food Consumption and Nutrition Division International Food Policy Research Institute 2033 K Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20006 U.S.A. (202) 862–5600 Fax: (202) 467–4439 March 2001 FCND Discussion Papers contain preliminary material and research results, and are circulated prior to a full peer review in order to stimulate discussion and critical comment. It is expected that most Discussion Papers will eventually be published in some other form, and that their content may also be revised. ii ABSTRACT The nutritional transition currently occurring in Asia is one facet of a more general demographic/nutritional/epidemiological transition that accompanies development and urbanization. The nutritional transition is marked by a shift away from relatively monotonous diets of varying nutritional quality toward an industrialized diet that is usually more varied, includes more preprocessed food, more food of animal origin, more added sugar and fat, and often more alcohol. This is accompanied by shift in the structure of occupations and leisure toward reduced physical activity, and leads to a rapid increase in the numbers of overweight and obese. The accompanying epidemiological transition is marked by a shift away from endemic deficiency and infectious diseases toward chronic diseases such as obesity, adult-onset diabetes, hypertension, stroke, hyperlipidaemia, coronary heart disease, and cancer. Obesity is now a major public health problem in Asia. Obesity is a problem of the urban poor as well as the rich, and the urban poor have the added predisposing factors associated with low birthweight.
