Development of Game-basis Learning Materials for Children to Promote Healthy Eating and Hand Hygiene Healthy eating is important to our health. Children need to learn the knowledge about food categories and food portions before they could understand how to choose healthy food items. Through playing the board game, children will find it interesting to design their meals by picking healthy food items. The board games also let them know the requirement for eating varieties of food items as children may limit their food choices to a few. The board games will be an innovative strategy for learning healthy eating. The board game could be used as party activities in a home setting. By integrating technology, the boardgames could equip more information about food such as energy and nutrient values. This benefits the teachers to use the boardgames as teaching materials in lessons. Hand hygiene is important to our daily life particularly during this COVID-19 pandemic period, it is necessary to become a habit of young children. Through the boardgames, the knowledge and skills can be applied to the players’ daily activities This benefits the parents and teachers to use this boardgame as teaching materials for educating the children’s knowledge, skills, and attitude in home and school settings.

Using Physical Food Transformation to Enhance the Sensory Approval of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders for Eating Fruits and Vegetables. The selective eating of children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) restricts their food repertoire and results in their insufficient nutrient intake for growth and development. These children are typically very selective on fruits and vegetables (FV). Current evidence explains that ASD children show aberrant tactile, taste, and smell sensitivity to foods and result recall unpleasant memories of taste or texture of food. A new approach to tackle this sensitivity problem is food transformation which change the appearance, texture, smell, and temperature of foods to make them more appealing to children. This study will examine the effect of food transformation on FV acceptance and consumption in 30 ASD children. Our findings may identify a possible linkage between food transformation and sensory changes. Thus with appropriate food transformation, the picky behaviour of the ASD children can be modified; and this approach provides a direction for designing future interventions to counter selective eating.

Tai Chi-muscle Power Training for Primary School Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Trial. In the proposed study, we will pioneer the treatment of both COG control and leg muscular deficit in children with DCD by incorporating MPT into TC. We hypothesize that the LOS of balance control in these children can best be improved by treating both their COG control and muscular deficits. This hypothesis is supported by the prediction that TC-MPT is superior to either TC or MPT alone in improving LOS balance performance. Furthermore, improved LOS is associated with fewer fall incidents and better functional performance in children with DCD. Project Start Year: 2018, Principal Investigator(s): CHUNG, Ming Yan 鍾明恩 |

Adding Health to Longevity: Building a Health Literate Hong Kong Hong Kong is one of the places that people enjoy longest longevities, yet, are we healthier? Recent government statistics on non-communicable diseases and wellbeing survey may provide contradictory evidence. Health literacy refers to an individual’s capacity (knowledge, motivation and competences) to access, understand, appraise and apply health information in order to make informed decision and actions in everyday life regarding health care, disease prevention and health promotion towards health and wellbeing during the life course. Health literacy, a public health issue which is closely related to non-communicable diseases, is receiving imminent global attention. There is an increasing trend of non-communicable disease (NCD) (e.g. cancer, heart disease and stroke) worldwide which accounts for more than 75% of deaths. NCD is closely related to modifiable risk factors, e.g. lack of physical activity, body mass index, poor dietary habits, smoking, alcohol use and other life style related behaviour while health literacy is documented to be an important determinant in preventing NCD. Both international and national data show low healthy literacy among their people. Hong Kong does not have any structured data in this regard, yet NCD prevalence is comparable if not higher than theirs. Low health literacy poses a challenge to general public in terms of individual health, population health and escalating healthcare costs, which warrants immediate attention. Low penetration and low engagement are the foremost significant barriers to enhancement of health literacy. To this end, the proposed strategic research area aims at raising the health literacy of people in Hong Kong through an innovative development of a Mobile Health (mHealth) system and decentralized implementation of effective data driven measures to tackle NCD.

Integrating behavioral feedback in nutrition e-learning – a randomized controlled study in nutrition behavior for secondary students. Proper diet is considered important in the prevention and control of various chronic diseases. To educate teenagers’ healthy diet intake, nutrition behaviour is a critical approach to pay attention to. Literature has it that effectiveness nutrition education should be relevant to the target group, self-assessment techniques included and the target group should act actively in the intervention. The application of e-learning fosters personalized self-evaluation so that motivators and reinforcers could be given personally. This is also aligning to technology-driven pedagogies in e-learning. With e-learning, online feedback could be easily programmed to address specific dietary good practice and bad practice for students’ active reflection and response. The learning process in nutrition behaviour is gradual and needs time. However, change and habitually established nutrition behaviour is desirable for decreasing risks in chronic diseases and improving public health. Established nutrition behaviour will also be carried forward to their adulthood and may affect the nutrition behaviour of their next generation. With technology design and advancement, nutrition education now could be implemented innovatively to provide effective nutrition knowledge, the education could also be conducted in large scale. This may imply nutrition education could be cascaded to bigger population group to save administrative and medical treatment cost. At last but not the least, nutrition behaviour resulted from nutrition education could be made more sustainable. Project Start Year: 2013, Principal Investigator(s): CHUNG, Ming Yan 鍾明恩 |

The Effect of Qiaong Exercise on Physical and Psychosocial Wellbeing in Nasopharyngeal Cancer Survivors. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common malignancy of the head and neck region among the Chinese population. This will be the first study to investigate the effect of short-term Qigong training on (1) relieving the NPC-related symptoms and the radiotherapy side-effects; and (2) improving the quality of life and psychosocial wellbeing in NPC survivors. At least 44 male NPC survivors will be recruited (age range: 40-60 years) from a private clinic run by our co-investigator, Dr Luk, on a voluntary basis. About half of the participants will be allocated to the six-month Qigong training class (1.5-hour session per week and home practice: 3 times per week) and the other half will be assigned to the control group according to their preferences. Temporomandibular joint, neck and shoulder movements, standing balance, circulation, cardiopulmonary function as well as pain, and quality of life will be evaluated using clinical tests and questionnaires at week 0 (baseline assessments), week 12 (mid-term assessments) and week 25 (post-intervention assessments). Repeated measures MANCOVA will be used for statistical analysis. Findings of this study will shed light on the use of Qigong exercise in enhancing the physical and psychosocial wellbeing of nasopharyngeal carcinoma survivors.

The application of tele-dietetics as behavioural feedback in weight reduction: a testing route in the Theory of Planned Behaviour Obesity is the major metabolic disease in many countries that healthy eating and exercise are promoted to tackle the problems. However, the number of obese people is keep going up because the weight loss programme is not effective in changing eating behaviour of the obese in the long term. The theory of planned behaviour (TPB) addresses the issue that intention is essential modifier in health behavioural change. But few studies used this model in weight reduction. In this study, about 50 obese adults aged 20-50 with body mass index more than 23 will be recruited at HKIEd. Participants will be given a nutrition education programme and asked to complete their dietary records in typical food diaries (control group) or in the electronic dietary recording system (intervention group). The dietary recording will last for 12 weeks. Body height, body weight, BMI and percentage of fat will be measured at the start of the project, week 6, week 12 and week 24. The participants will continue their effort on weight reduction for the next 12 weeks. Energy profile and nutrient profile will be compared between the two groups. This study will be one in recent years to test TPB in intention enhancement. The adoption of tele-dietetics in the TPB model as the behavioural feedback in perceived control enhancement, if proved effective, will be a new route in explaining TPB in weight reduction.

Effectiveness of an Electronic Food Diary in Weight Reduction Subjects recruited will be allocated to three groups, one control group (CG) and two experimental groups. The control group will not receive any intervention, one experimental group will use contemporary food diary to record dietary intake (FDG) and another experimental group will use the Portal to record dietary intake (EG). Researchers will evaluate the dietary records in the EG group through the uploaded food images and the nutrient values and comments of their diet are reported on the Portal for knowledge transfer. With this dietary input and learning process, subjects are equipped with the skill to modify their food choice in proper portion, eventually obtain the weight loss in a sustainable way.

Interdisciplinary partnership for physical fitness and health education knowledge transfer – a collaborative project with the Hong Kong Institute of Education This project aimed to transfer the basic knowledge of physical fitness (Physical Fitness Testing Protocol of the Department of Education and China Sports Bureau) and lifestyle assessment (WHO General Health School Survey Questionnaires) to school teachers from collaborative schools and HPE students. It was started in Early March and involved 5 secondary schools in Tai Po. At the end of data collection, 5 principals, 16 school teachers (mainly PE teachers), and 20 HPE students have been trained how to conduct the physical fitness and lifestyle assessment. 3,570 (male 1754, Female 1816) secondary students participated in the project and 98% (3,501) of them have successfully completed all the assessment. The results indicated 13.3% (472) of the students are obese while another 42.6% (1,517) of students are underweight. Overall, 96.7% (3,450) students have passed the physical fitness test. In the assessment of life style, 16.4% (560) of the students never exercise. Nearly half (1,585) of the students have started alcohol drink and 9.2% (327) of the students have started smoking. Of all students, 34 of them even reported drug use in the study. The data analysis is yet to be completed. But the current results have clearly reflected some serious health related problems among secondary students: underweight and/or obese, physical inactivity, alcohol and tobacco usage and even drug abuse. More health elements are urged to be involved in the education system. School teachers are not only responsible for students’ academic development, but also to cultivate the healthy life style before they enter their adulthood.
