The Chinese CDC Weekly (CCDCW) series is prepared by the Chinese Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC). It is the agency’s primary vehicle for scientific publication of timely, reliable, authoritative, accurate, objective, and useful public health information and recommendations. CCDCW readership predominantly consists of physicians, nurses, public health practitioners, epidemiologists and other scientists, researchers, educators, and laboratorians. CCDCW models after the US CDC MMWR, resulted in part from an intra-agency collaboration. To what extent may childhood circumstances determine health inequalities and disparities in old age? What can we do to promote our health? What aspects can public policy address?
