The attention of the Chinese government on nutrition, exercise, and health refers to the attention degree of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals and reflects whether Central Government attach importance to Chinese nationals' nutrition, exercise and health or not and the distribution of resources, which influence the physical quality and health level of Chinese nationals. Based on the attention theory and attention distribution proposed by Herbert Simon, Dai Kai, et al., this study took 43 Central Government Work Reports from 1978 to 2020 as research samples, used literature reviews, and textual analysis methods, and applied the Nvivo12.0 software to conduct qualitative and quantitative analyses about the contents of the Central Government Work Report concerning the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals. This research found the following: (1) There has been a relatively huge overall change in the attention of the Central Government, that is, the level of attention, to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals from 1978 to 2020, and the policies related to nutrition, exercise and health of Chinese nationals issued by the Central Government have been growing faster. (2) The income level of the urban and rural residents, the total production of various types of food, dietary structure, the total number of medical and health institutions, the average life expectancy of the Chinese population, and the number of sports venues have been constantly increasing since the reform and opening up, which has effectively promoted the improvement of the nutrition, exercise and health level of Chinese nationals, and it cannot be achieved without the attention and support of the Central Government. However, the change in the lifestyle of Chinese nationals has led to the growth of the modern “Civilization Disease,” which is also an important issue that the Central Government needs to handle urgently. The Outline and Plan of “Healthy China 2030” issued by the Communist Party of China of Central Committee  and the State Council of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as State Council) that is the Central Government of the People's Republic of China  proposed that “health is an inevitable requirement for promoting human beings' all-round development, and the realization of national health and longevity is an important symbol of the country's prosperity, strength, and national rejuvenation” . Does thKey Points of Works” that was issued by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China from 1987 to 2019 through five dimensions, and uncovered the characteristics of the attention distribution of the Central Government to vocational education, and put forward suggestions to optimize the attention distribution levels of the Central Government to vocational education ” and “Regulations on the Work of Rural National Communes ”, which promoted the development of the production undertakings in China, such as agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, sideline, and fishery. In 1982, the attention level of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals reached 1.6% that because, in January 1982, the CPC Central Committee approved the “Minutes of the National Rural Work Conference  No.1)”, and pointed out that “the production team should make plans for the comprehensive development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline, fishery, industry, and commerce in accordance with local conditions, and improve the circulation of rural commodities”. In addition, the Central Patriotic Health Campaign Committee and the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China jointly issued the “Notice on Further Development of Patriotic Health Campaigns and the Construction of Socialist Spiritual Civilization.” The attention level of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals was as low as.56% in 1984. The reason for this phenomenon was that the CPC Central Committee issued the “Some Issues of Current Rural Economic Policy  No.1)” and “Notice on Rural Work in 1984  No.1)” which have effectively promoted the all-round development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline and fishery in China, and the living standards of the urban and rural residents were further improved. As a result, the number of the literal expressions on nutrition in the Government Work Reports have declined in recent years, and the Central Government has laid its main attention on the system reform and opening up. Compared with 1984, the attention level of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals increased from 1985 to 1991 and reached a peak state of 1.61% in 1988. In October 1984, the CPC Central Committee issued the “Notice on Further Development of Sports,” which once again stressed that “sports is closely related to Chinese nationals' health, and we must adhere to the policy of combining popularization and improvement, focusing on school sports”. In January 1985, the CPC Central Committee and State Council issued “Ten Policies on Further Activating the Rural Economy  No.1),” which was beneficial in improving the tight supply of agricultural products and promoting the rationalization of the rural industrial structure and the diversification of the diet of the urban and rural residents. In April of the same year, the State Council approved the “Report on Several Issues of Health Work Reform (Released by State Council (1985) NO.62)” by the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China, which unveiled the prolog of health reform and promoted the development of Medical and Health Care in China. In January 1987, the CPC Central Committee issued a notice on “leading Rural Reform deeper  No.1”) which was an important reason for the peak of the attention of the Central Government in 1998. In January 1989, the State Council approved and forwarded the “Opinions on Issues Related to the Expansion of Medical and Health Services” issued by the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Personnel, State Price Bureau, and State Administration of Taxation of the People's Republic of China. However, the attention level of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals fell to 0.51% in 1992, for the reason that: In the 1990s, the State Council approved the “Regulations on School Sports Work and Regulations on School Health Work” that was beneficial to improving the physical health level of the youth, so as to enhance the physical quality and health level of Chinese nationals; In October 1991, the State Council issued a “Notice on Further Invigorating the Circulation of Agricultural Products”, which was beneficial to solving the problem of the lag in the circulation of agricultural products and laying the foundation for the urban and rural residents to purchase diversified food, obtain the nutrients that their bodies need, and promote good health. Hence, the level of attention of the Central Government was low in 1992.Bryan Jones believed that “all kinds of factors in the decision-making situation have an effect on decision-making” . In diffOpinions on Deepening the Reform of the Health and Medical System” in 1992, which proposed to reform the health management system and the price system of Medical and Health Services. In addition, according to the general goal of establishing a socialist market economy system proposed by the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the State Council issued the “Notice on Accelerating the Reform of Grain Circulation System” to promote the reform of the grain circulation system toward commercialization and market-oriented operation in February 1993. In 1995, the attention of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals increased to 1.18%. The main reasons are as follows: In May 1993, State Council issued the “Outline for the Reform and Development of China's Food Structure in the 1990s (Released by State Council (1993) NO.40),” which was the first document on food nutrition that was issued by the country since the founding of the People's Republic of China; the State Council issued the “Regulations on the Administration of Medical Institutions (Released by State Council (1994) No.194)”; the CPC Central Committee and State Council issued the “Opinions on Agricultural and Rural Work in 1994  No.4)” and “Opinions on Doing the Work in Agriculture and Rural Work well in 1995  No.6).” From 1996 to 1999, the attention of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals varied little and the trend remained relatively stable. The following reasons could explain this phenomenon: Firstly, in June 1995, the “Outline for the National Fitness Program (Released by State Council (1995) No.14)” proposed that “by 2010, the Chinese national physique and health level will be comprehensively improved, and National Fitness system with Chinese characteristics will be basically built”, and in August of the same year, the 15th plenary session of the Standing Committee of the 8th National People's Congress adopted the “Sports Law of the People's Republic of China”, which clearly put forward the requirement that “sports work should adhere to the development of National Fitness Activities as the basis for the development of mass sports activities to improve the physical fitness of the whole nation”; secondly, in January 1997, the CPC Central Committee and State Council promulgated the “Decision on Health Reform and Development  No.3)”, which explicitly proposed the goals and guidelines of health work and the principles that need to be followed; thirdly, in October 1998, the “Resolution on Several Major Issues in Agriculture and Rural Work” adopted by the Third Plenary Session of the 15th CPC Central Committee proposed that “we must adhere to market-oriented reforms, steadily develop food production, combine agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, and ensure the effective supply of agricultural products”. From 2000 to 2002, the reasons for the low attention level of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals were: the National Sports Work Conference held in Beijing in 1999, which discussed the “Outline of Sports Reform and Development from 2001 to 2010”; In December 2000, the “Outline of Sports Reform and Development from 2001 to 2010” mentioned that “the main goals of sports reform and development including an obvious increase in the popularity of mass sports, the full realization of the National Fitness Plan, and the effective enhancement of Chinese nationals' physical quality”; In November 2001, the General Office of State Council issued the “Outline for the Development of Food and Nutrition in China from 2001 to 2010  No.86),” which pointed out that “entering the new century, accelerating food development, improving food structure, raising the nutritional level of the whole people and improving people's physical health are the urgent needs for the improvement of the national overall quality”; In January 2002, the CPC Central Committee and State Council issued the “Opinions on Doing the Agricultural and Rural Work Well in 2002  No.2)”, which put forward that “by 2010, the rural health service system and the rural cooperative medical system adapted to the requirements of the socialist market economy system will be basically established in national rural areas”. From 2003 to 2012, the attention of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals was high and peaked in 2008 at 2.21%. In July 2002, the CPC Central Committee and State Council issued the Opinions on Further Strengthening and Improving Sports Work in the New Era which stated that “carrying out National Fitness Activities and enhancing nationals' physical quality is the fundamental task of sports work”. In October of the same year, the CPC Central Committee and State Council issued the “Decision on Further Strengthening Rural Health  No.13).” As the key point of Chinese health work, rural health work was linked to the development of the rural productivity and influenced the overall physical fitness and health level of Chinese nationals. In 2003, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic situation strengthened the construction of the national public health system and increased the investment of medical and health resources. In January 2005, the CPC Central Committee and State Council issued the “Opinions on Several Policies to Further Strengthen Rural Work and Improve Comprehensive Agricultural Production Capacity  No.1”, which put forward new requirements for Chinese agricultural and rural work. The reasons for the peak level of the attention of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals in 2008 were that: the CPC Central Committee and State Council promulgated the “Opinions on Developing Modern Agriculture and Solidly Promoting the Construction of a New Rural  No.1)” and “Opinions on Effectively Strengthening Agricultural Infrastructure and Further Promoting Agricultural Development and Increasing Farmers' Income  No.1),” both of which emphasized the issues about agriculture, rural, and farmers  and the agricultural product safety question; the CPC Central Committee and State Council issued the “Opinions on Strengthening Youth Sports and Enhancing Youth Physical Fitness  No.7),” which promoted the healthy growth of the youth and played a role in pushing the development of national health. In March 2009, the “Opinions on Deepening the Reform of Medical and Health Care System  No.6)” was issued, which promoted the development of medical and health care and ensured the health of the urban and rural residents in China. In August of the same year, the release of the “National Fitness Regulations” not only promoted the development of national fitness activities but also improved the physical quality and health level of Chinese nationals. In January 2010, the CPC Central Committee and State Council issued the “Several Opinions on Increasing Efforts to Coordinate Urban and Rural Development and Further Strengthening the Foundation of Agricultural Rural Development  No.1),” which put forward “accelerating the construction of the quality and safety supervision system and inspection and detection system for agricultural products, and actively developing pollution-free agricultural products, green food, organic agricultural products.” Therefore, the Central Government has paid high attention to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals since 2003.The convening of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China marked that the reform and opening up of China has entered a new stage, and the goal of establishing a socialist market economic system has been made. In this context, the attention of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals had also changed. Overall, the attention intensity of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals has changed greatly during this period. In 1993, the attention of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals was as low as.56%. The main reason was that the State Council issued the “Outline for the Development of Food and Nutrition in China from 2014 to 2020  No.3),” proposing that “China's food production is not able to meet the nutritional needs yet, the residents are undernourished and surplus coexist, and the lack of nutritional and health knowledge, which must be given great attention”. In October 2016, the CPC Central Committee and State Council issued the “Outline and Plan of ‘Healthy China 2030'.” The outline proposed that “we should formulate and implement a national nutrition plan, deeply carry out the research on the evaluation of the nutritional functions of food, comprehensively popularize dietary nutritional knowledge, issue dietary guidelines suitable for the characteristics of different groups of people, guide residents to form scientific dietary habits, and promote the construction of a healthy diet culture”. In July 2017, the General Office of the State Council issued the “National Nutrition Plan from 2017 to 2030  No.60),” which put forward that “nutrition is an important material basis for human beings to maintain life, growth, and health, and nationals' nutrition is related to the improvement of nationals' quality and economic and social development.” Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Government has also made a series of new deployment arrangements for the work of national fitness. In October 2014, the State Council issued “Several Opinions on Accelerating the Development of the Sports Industry And Promoting Sports Consumption  No.46”) that put forward “promoting National Fitness as the national strategy of China”, which marked a significant leap in the concept and practice of mass sports development in China, recognizing national fitness as the rightful meaning of national health. National fitness is a significant means of national health, it is inevitable to promote the development of national health. In June 2016, the State Council issued the “National Fitness Plan from 2016 to 2020  No.37).” In October of the same year, the “Outline and Plan of ‘Healthy China 2030”' was issued by the CPC Central Committee and State Council which was a program of action to promote a healthy China, and “Co-construction and sharing, national health” was the strategic theme of building a healthy China. To accelerate the construction of sports power and to vigorously promote the in-depth integration of national fitness and national health, the General Office of the State Council issued the “Notice on Printing and Distributing the Outline of Building Sports Power  No.40” in September 2019. In September of the same year, for the sake of actively implementing the national fitness initiative and making regular participation in physical exercise a way of life, the General Office of the State Council issued the “Opinions on Promoting National Fitness and Sports Consumption and Pushing the High-Quality Development of the Sports Industry  No.43).” In October 2020, the General Office of the State Council issued the “Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of National Fitness Facilities and Develop Mass Sports  No.36)” to boost the construction of fitness facilities, promote the vigorous development of mass sports, and enhance the level of public services for national fitness. The Central Government has also carried out a comprehensive reform in the development of the medical and health services in China. In September 2013, the State Council issued “Several Opinions on Promoting the Development of Health Service Industry  No.40),” which proposed that “accelerating the development of the health service industry is an inevitable requirement for deepening medical reform, improving Chinese nationals' livelihood and enhancing the health quality of the whole Chinese.” In March 2015, the General Office of the State Council issued the “Notice on Printing and Distributing the Outline of the National Medical and Health Service System Planning from 2015 to 2020  No.14)” to promote the further optimal allocation of the Chinese medical and health resources and build an integrated medical and health service system. In August 2018, the General Office of the State Council issued the “Notice on Printing and Distributing the Reform Plan for the Division of Financial Affairs Powers and Expenditure Responsibilities between the Central and Local Governments in the Field of Medical and Health  No.67).” In June 2019, the General Office of the State Council issued the “Notice on Printing and Distributing the Key Work Tasks for Deepening the Reform of the Medical and Health System in 2019  No.28),” proposing that “putting Chinese national health at the center, implementing prevention as the main work, strengthening disease prevention and health promotion, deepening the linkage reform of medical care, medical insurance and medicine, and firmly promoting the reform of the Medical and Health System effectively implemented and benefiting the Mass”. In July 2020, the General Office of the State Council issued the “Key Work Tasks for Deepening the Reform of the Medical and Health System in the Second Half of 2020  No.25),” which put forward “strengthening the construction of the public health system and further implement the Healthy China Initiative”.The convening of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China marked a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics . The attFrom the above, it can be seen that since the new era, although the Central Government has paid less attention to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals compared with the previous decade, there has been an increasing number of policies at the central level related to nutrition, exercise, and health after entering the new era, most of which were macro-policies and planning programs. On one hand, the promulgation of these policies showed that the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have attached great importance to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals, and to a certain extent promoted the improvement of national nutrition, exercise, and health in China. On the other hand, it indicated the lack of micro and detailed measures on nutrition, exercise, and health. The nutrition policy and action plan of China have promoted the overall nutritional status of Chinese residents to some extent, but there are still some deficiencies that need to be improved. For example, the lack of laws and regulations on nutrition policy protection, lack of long-term mechanism and sustainability, inadequate nutrition policy system, and so on . In addiSince the reform and opening up, the attention of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals has changed significantly. The number of policies related to nutrition, exercise, and health issued by the Central Government has increased, and the level of nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals has also changed constantly. The per capita income of the Chinese urban and rural residents has been increasing since the reform and opening up. As shown in Outline for the Reform and Development of China's Food Structure in the 1990s (Released by State Council (1993) NO.40).” From the early 1990s to the beginning of 2000s, the average daily intake of other cereals, fruits, and salt declined slightly, while the average daily intake of tubers, flour and its products, dark-colored vegetables, and light-colored vegetables decreased sharply. The average daily intake of rice and its products, milk and its products, livestock and poultry meats, and vegetable oils increased significantly, while the average daily intake of legumes, eggs and its products, fish, and shrimp, and animal oils increased slightly. In addition, the average daily intake of Chinese residents when it comes to energy, protein, carbohydrates, and dietary fiber declined, while the average daily intake of fat rose. After entering the 21st century, to promote the development of the Chinese national dietary structure into a nutritious and scientific way, the General Office of the State Council issued the “Notice on Printing and Distributing the Outline for Chinese Food and Nutrition Development from 2001 to 2010  No.86).” From 2002 to 2012, the average daily intake of other cereals, tubers, rice and its products, and legumes decreased. Meanwhile, the average daily intake of dark-colored vegetables, light-colored vegetables, fruits, fish and shrimp, milk and its products, animal oils, and salt decreased slightly. On the contrary, the average daily intake of flour and its products, eggs and its products, livestock and poultry meats, and vegetable oils all increased. Moreover, the average daily intake of energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, and dietary fibers of Chinese residents decreased. To address the coexistence of under-nutrition and over-nutrition and to optimize the dietary structure of Chinese residents, in January 2014, the General Office of the State Council issued the “Outline for the Development of Food and Nutrition in China (2014–2020) No.3).”China respectively conducted five national nutrition surveys in 1959, 1982, 1992, 2002, and 2012, and the researchers analyzed the changes in the dietary structure of Chinese residents by using the data of national nutrition surveys comprehensively since the reform and opening up. As seen in Notice on Printing and Distributing China's Mid-and Long-term Plan for the Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Diseases (Released by State Council Office (2017) No.12)” in February 2017, which mentioned, “strengthening health education and improving the health quality of the whole people, implementing early diagnosis and treatment to reduce the risk of disease among high-risk groups, promoting the coordination of medical treatment and prevention, realizing the whole process of health management and other measures” (Notice on the adjustment plan of temporary import tariff rate in 2020 (Released by State Council Customs Tariff Commission (2019) No.50),” which put stated “implementing zero tariff on several new diabetes drugs.”  No.6)” issued by the Central Government and State Council in March 2009, which has not only promoted the development of medical and health undertakings in China but also laid a foundation for the improvement of the whole national health. In addition, the average life expectancy of the Chinese population has increased from 68 years old in 1978 to 77.3 in 2019. The thought of “exercise is a valuable medicine” has existed since ancient times. The leaders of the past generations of the Chinese nation have attached great importance to the physical quality and health level of Chinese nationals and emphasized the importance of exercise and fitness. In June 1952, Chairman Mao Zedong wrote an inscription for the foundation of the All-China Sports Federation which stated to “develop sports and build up the people's physical fitness.” In August 1997, Chairman Jiang Zemin wrote an inscription for the national fitness work which stated that “national Fitness benefits the country and Chinese nationals and contributes to the present and future generations”. In October 2005, when General Secretary Hu Jintao attended the 10th National Games in Nanjing, he proposed that “carrying out national physical fitness activities to improve the health quality of the whole nation.” In August 2013, when meeting with the national mass sports advanced units and advanced individual representatives, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that “national fitness is the foundation and guarantee for all people to enhance their physical fitness and lead a healthy life, national fitness is an important connotation of building moderately prosperous society in all respects, and it's also a vital basis for every person to grow up and live a happy life”. It can be seen from Besides the income of urban and rural residents, dietary structure, and lifestyle, many other factors are affecting the health of Chinese nationals, such as health care, sports, and fitness. Medical and health care are related to the health of hundreds of millions of people. Since the reform and opening up, the development level of medical and health care in China has gradually increased, and the average life expectancy of the Chinese population has also risen. As can be seen in In conclusion, there has been a relatively huge overall change in the attention of the Central Government, that is, the level of attention, to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals from 1978 to 2020, and the policies related to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals issued by the Central Government have been growing faster. The income level of the urban and rural residents, the total production of various types of food, dietary structure, the total number of medical and health institutions, the average life expectancy of the Chinese population, and the number of sports venues have been constantly increasing since the reform and opening up, which has effectively promoted the improvement of the nutrition, exercise, and health level of Chinese nationals, and it cannot be achieved without the attention and support of the Central Government. However, the change of the lifestyle of Chinese nationals has led to the growth of the modern “Civilization Disease,” which is also an important issue that the Central Government needs to handle urgently. Therefore, the research can not only offer a window into the changes of the attention of the Central Government to the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals since the reform and opening up, but also verify the hypothesis that the attention of the government influences the level of the nutrition, exercise, and health of Chinese nationals. Furthermore, the research also summarizes the progress and defects of the development in nutrition, exercise, and health in China to lay a good foundation for the promotion of a healthy China.The original contributions presented in the study are included in the article/supplementary material, further inquiries can be directed to the corresponding author/s.TZ and JL: data analysis and review and editing.

The National Academy for State Health Policy hosts both the RAISE Act Family Caregiving Resource and Dissemination Center and the Hub for State Strategies to Build and Support Palliative Care, with generous funding from The John A. Hartford Foundation. The value of supporting individuals with serious illness and complex conditions as well as their family caregivers through telehealth, care management, advance care planning, and other added family caregiver supports has been especially evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. Policymakers are now grappling with how to restructure hard-hit health care and long-term services and supports systems to better support these individuals and their family caregivers. The State Hub provides concrete resources for states working to implement and expand high-quality palliative care, and the RAISE Center is assisting the Family Caregiving Advisory Council with creating the country’s first national Family Caregiver Strategy.

After working as an information services librarian and lecturer at the Weill Cornell Medical College, she took on the position of library manager at the New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene's Public Health Library, where she directly served the public health professionals that served the largest city in the United States. She also continued as a lecturer in public health at Weill Cornell, teaching students in evidence-based medicine, epidemiology, and biostatistics.With her relocation to North Carolina as director of the William R. Kenan, Jr. Library of Veterinary Medicine at North Carolina State University (NCSU), Kris entered a new area of public health—that of the shared health impact from interactions among animals, humans, and the environment. Her recent coauthored article that appeared in the NLM's Director's Blog outlines the importance of One Health—these shared public health impacts . She conDecember 2018 began a new phase in Kris's career as she moved to Portland and assumed the directorship of the Oregon Health & Science University Library. As part of her responsibilities as university librarian and associate professor in the Department of Medical Informatics & Clinical Epidemiology, she still educates students on informatics and epidemiology and serves as a mentor to graduate students and fellows.Kris's work in public health has extended to educating consumers by locating accurate and timely web-based information. From 1998 to 2009, she used her expertise in Spanish to build the Spanish side of the bilingual web portal NOAH . After grant funding ceased, NOAH became a volunteer-driven project—Kris managed the Spanish content, as well as volunteering to work on the redesign committee so that the new interface was user-friendly to Spanish speakers. For that work, she was one of the awardees when NOAH was given the Thomson Scientific/Frank Bradway Rogers Information Advancement Award in 2006.Journal of the Medical Library Association. In 2021, Kris was selected as a Fellow of MLA.MLA has benefited from Kris's service. She has been a member of the Academy of Health Information Professionals (AHIP) since 1997. She served on the National Program Committee three times and has been elected to the Nominating Committee twice and to the MLA Board. As a member and eventual chair of the Public Health and Health Administration Section (now Caucus), Kris worked with a committee to create a comprehensive list of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) that would benefit searching for the public health community; many of these terms have been added to the MeSH vocabulary. She also chaired the Research Caucus and served on the editorial board of the I look forward to Kris Alpi's presidential year. Her commitment to professional development and to the growth and evolution of MLA will benefit all members. Please join me in welcoming her to her new position.

People with disabilities face a diverse array of health care and support needs. These needs can vary by disability type, degree, and timing of the advent of functional limitations. These differences have implications for needed health care service use and related expenditures. The symposium will open with a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-sponsored analysis of adult disability-associated health care expenditures, both nationally and by U.S. state, in total, by per adult, by per adult with disability, and by payer, to illustrate the contribution and variation of these expenditures to individual states and the health care system. We will next present a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation effort to identify onset and patterns of reduced functional ability at end of life for older adults with and without dementia as related to other comorbidities. The last paper will present a Commonwealth Foundation study on older adults with functional disabilities and multiple chronic conditions, comparing those with high health care needs versus the subset of those people who are also high cost. Patterns of utilization differed between these two groups, and by state. These findings have implications for the development of care models that might best meet people’s needs. Our discussant will respond to the studies’ findings and discuss the important role that efforts to understand the nature of disability and functional status and the scale and scope of service use and costs have for people with disabilities.

Family Physician Dr Cherifa Sururu died of Covid-19 related complications at Mater Dei Hospital, Bulawayo, on Wednesday 27 January 2021.Cherifa was born on 18 March 1970 in Karoi district, Mashonaland West Province, Zimbabwe. His parents originally came from the Yao people of neighbouring Malawi, so he was brought up a Muslim, speaking Yao at home, but later became fluent also in Shona, Ndebele and English. He grew up on a commercial farm, one of 11 children, where his mother was a farm worker and the third wife of his father. His schooling in Karoi and later A-levels in Harare were made possible by a series of scholarships including from the Islamic Development Bank and other well-wishers. He contributed to the family income by joining with seasonal agricultural activities at commercial farms, and supplemented their food supplies with fishing and hunting.Cherifa joined the University of Zimbabwe to study medicine and qualified with MBChB in 1997. He did his house jobs (internship) at Mpilo Central Hospital (1998–1999) and then embarked on a long career as a private general practitioner (GP) in Bulawayo. The entrepreneur spirit that saw him selling vegetables, sugar cane and wire toys as a young person, guided him in setting up several successful private surgeries in Bulawayo.Cherifa was a founding member, trustee and second Chairperson of the Islamic Medical Association in Zimbabwe, over a 12-year period. He was active in the College of Primary Care Physicians of Zimbabwe (CPCPZ) where he was the National Treasurer 2006 to 2014 and Honorary National Secretary 2014 to 2017. He was also the CPCPZ representative for the Zimbabwe Medical Association (ZiMA) Matabeleland Branch for 2015 and 2016; Branch Vice President from 2016 to 2017; member of the Social Responsibility Committee from 2014 and organized several medical outreaches to underserved communities in districts. He represented the CPCPZ in the Medical & Dental Practitioners Council of Zimbabwe from July 2020 to his time of death. In the international arena he was the Zimbabwe country representative for Primafamed, a Primary Care and Family Medicine network in Africa, and through CPCPZ, a member of WONCA the World Organization of Family Doctors.Cherifa was one of four private GPs who enrolled with the University of Stellenbosch Family Medicine MMed programme, with the ambition of setting up a similar programme in Zimbabwe. He gained his MMed in March 2017. A register of Specialist Family Practitioners was established at the Medical and Dental Practitioners Council of Zimbabwe in 2015 and the four pioneers of Family Medicine in Zimbabwe were the first to be entered into that register. Family Medicine MMed training programmes were established at the Faculty of Medicine, National University of Science and Technology (NUST), and at the University of Zimbabwe College of Health Sciences, which enrolled their first intakes in 2020 and for whom Cherifa was a committed educator.Cherifa was involved in philanthropic work through Green Crescent Zimbabwe in partnership with the career guidance and counselling department of the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, to support a schools’ programme to prevent drugs and substance abuse, teenage pregnancies and suicide. The programme was launched in December 2020. At the time of his death, Cherifa was involved in research on factors influencing substance abuse among school children in Bulawayo and on quality of care in the Zimbabwe district health system.Cherifa felt strongly connected to his parents’ country of origin and managed to visit Malawi in 2017 as part of a Training for Clinical Trainers in Family Medicine run by Stellenbosch University. As a child, he loved listening to the stories about Malawi told by his grandmother by the fireside at night.His death is a sad loss to Family Medicine in Zimbabwe and he will be deeply missed. He is survived by his wife Elizabeth Chipendo and his five children.

The Great Influenza, John M. Barry describes how the distinguished innovators of American medical education and academic public health traveled to Europe at the end of the 19th century to glean all they could for creating a more advanced model for U.S. schools of medicine  the interface between public health and health care provision: the Scandinavian welfare state, the German health insurance model, and the British National Health Service. In contrast, the United States has long held the opposite understanding of the role of the state in health: that health is the responsibility of the individual, not of the state  — is moving forward in adopting the social paradigm outlined in the Ottawa Charter. Three recent developments illustrate how Europe is adopting the model.Enabling Good Health for All — A Reflection Process for a New EU Health Strategy by the former European Commissioner of Health and Consumer Protection   .

The National Integrated Project for Prospective Observation of Non-communicable Disease and its Trends in the Aged (NIPPON DATA) is a series of cohort studies on representative Japanese populations that participated in national surveys in Japan. These studies are unique because their participants are general Japanese adult populations from 300 randomly selected areas throughout Japan. NIPPON DATA80 and NIPPON DATA90 are cohort studies of the National Survey of Circulatory Disorders and the National Nutrition Survey in 1980 and 1990. These long-term cohort studies have provided a large amount of important evidence on the risk factors for non-communicable diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases, and this information has been used in public health policy making, clinical guidelines, and health education in Japan.1 This is a cohort study of participants in the National Health and Nutrition Survey in 2010. NIPPON DATA2010 also includes original examinations and questionnaires added by our research group, as the successor of the National Survey of Circulatory Disorders. Study participants had also participated in the Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions in 2010; therefore, the data of this national survey were merged with the NIPPON DATA2010 dataset. Thus, the dataset of NIPPON DATA2010 provides a range of information on the socioeconomic status of a representative Japanese population in 2010.A new cohort study, NIPPON DATA2010, was initiated in 2010.Journal of Epidemiology, 11 studies on the relationships among socioeconomic status and obesity, dietary habits, and health-related behavior and knowledge, which are related to cardiovascular risk factors, are published, including the study profile paper of NIPPON DATA2010. Reductions in heath disparities in Japan are one of the main goals of the National Health Promotion Movement in the Twenty-first Century  (the second term).2 We hope that the information discussed in this issue will lead to important and effective measures that reduce health disparities and prevent cardiovascular diseases in Japan and worldwide.In this special issue of the Journal of Epidemiology, for his useful instructions and support.We thank Drs. Nobuo Nishi, Nagako Okuda, Takayoshi Ohkubo, and Aya Kadota for their important contribution in editing this issue, and Dr. Keitaro Matsuo, the Editor-in-Chief of the

Overall Abstract: Lawrence J. Seidman was born and grew up in New York City. He obtained a PhD from Boston University in Psychology and stayed in Massachusetts to work for many years in the Harvard affiliated Hospitals, such as the VA-Boston Healthcare System, Massachusetts General Hospital and at his untimely passing, he was Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Beth Israel-Deaconess Hospital and the Massachusetts Mental Health Center. He was about to move to a new phase in his career, assuming a position at Children’s Hospital, Boston. He was a pioneer in the fields of the neuropsychology of schizophrenia, ADHD and related disorders, of using the tools of cognitive assessments and brain imaging to understand the genetic predisposition for serious mental illness, and in the last several years—prediction of conversion to psychosis in individuals at high risk. He contributed to many multicenter collaborations and had several collaborators world-wide, playing an important role in their work. This symposium is conducted in his honor with contributions from key collaborators on different aspects of his work. Drs. Tyronne Cannon and Elaine Walker will both represent the North American Prodrome Longitudinal Study (NAPLS) consortium by reviewing its findings in brain imaging and cognition. Dr. David Braff will review the work of the Consortium on the Genetics of Schizophrenia (COGS) multicenter collaboration, in which Dr. Seidman led one of its sites, and Dr. TianHong Zhang from Shanghai will present current data from the Shanghai-Boston SHARP collaboration on early detection of psychosis. The symposium will be concluded by Dr. Keshavan from Beth Israel-Deaconess, who was a close colleague of Dr. Seidman for the last decade. Together they worked side by side exploring many aspects of early detection of schizophrenia and educating trainees and the public on their findings. He will sum up the legacy of Dr. Seidman to the field and how we can continue it into the future.

Medicines Travel Award 2018, we received a total of 41 applications from all over the world, of a very high quality. After preselection from the managing editorial staff of Medicines, scientific decision has been performed by four experts from Asia, Australia, and America and by the editor-in-chief of Medicines from Europe. Therefore, the jury included experts from four different continents.For the Medicines, I am pleased to announce the winner of the Medicines Travel Award for 2018. The travel award was granted to Dr. Amie Steel, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Australian Research Center in Complementary and Integrative Medicine at the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia. The award consists of 800 Swiss Francs to attend any academic conference during 2018.As Editor-in-Chief of Dr. Steel is also Associate Director Research at Endeavour College of Natural Health. In the four years since she has received her PhD, she has published over 100 research contributions, including 75 journal articles, two books, and 20 book chapters. She has attracted a large amount of research funding for complementary medicine (CM) research in the last 12 months, the majority of which is directed towards clinical trials involving medicinal cannabis and other natural health products.Her research interests fit within the broad remit of health services research, with a particular focus on understanding clinical practice and supporting clinical research which is embedded in and reflects daily routine care. She is a member of the Steering Committee for three national CM practice-based research networks in Australia, and she has led the formation of the International Research Collaborative for Naturopathic Academic Clinics—a network of research sites in naturopathic educational institutions which crosses four countries. This research infrastructure supports pragmatic clinical research within CM. She is also a peer mentor on the ARCCIM Research Leadership Programs for both CM and Naturopathy, and is a member of the World Naturopathic Federation Research Committee through which she has also contributed to policy development for the World Health Organization.In recent years, she has turned her attention to the evolving field of implementation science. In particular, she is interested in exploring the most effective way to integrate and implement different forms of knowledge. Within CM scholarship, the concept of the “embodied knowledge of the experienced clinician” is defended and criticized in equal measure, and she would like to explore the possibility of drawing upon the strategies being developed within implementation science to address this challenge within her own topic area.Medicines editorial and publishing teams! Congratulations to Dr. Amie Steel on behalf of the international jury and the
