Abstract
Cities and Health: A Response to the Recent Commentaries.
Highlights
Healthcare, that have contributed to health improvements in Shanghai is indisputable
New York City and Hong Kong are comparable in terms of population size, but once again Shanghai probably refers to the whole city, Tokyo probably reflects the entire Prefecture that extends way beyond the most heavily urbanized areas, and Paris includes only the 2.1 million population living in the dense and historic urban core
That is why they are called “indicators.” We relied on the indicator, amenable mortality (AM), because there is strong evidence in the literature we cited that this indicator tells us something important about one dimension of healthcare system performance
Summary
Healthcare, that have contributed to health improvements in Shanghai is indisputable. We agree with Ren’s comment[5] that it would have been preferable to compare our data from New York City, Paris (and first ring) and Greater London to Shanghai City with a population of 10 million.
