Recent research conducted in mainland China found that obesity prevalence was higher among
children in wealthier families, 4 but the patterns were different in Hong Kong with higher rates
of childhood obesity among lower income families.4 5 Hong Kong, despite having a per capita gross domestic product
of Hong Kong dollar (HK$) 273 550, has large income differences between rich and poor as reflected
by a high Gini coefficient
of 0.539 reported in 2016; approximately 20 %
of the population are living in poverty as defined
by a monthly household income below half
of the Hong Kong median.6 It is widely accepted that population health tend to be worse in societies with greater income inequalities, and hence low - income families in these societies are particularly at risk
of health problems.7 In our previous study,
children from Hong Kong Chinese low - income families experienced poorer health and more behavioural problems than other
children in the population at
similar age.8 Adults from these families also reported poorer health - related quality
of life (HRQOL), 9 with 6.1 %
of the parents having a known history
of mental illness and 18.2 %
of them reporting elevated level
of stress.
