Over 70% of the respondents have an irregular meal time due to their busy work schedules.

Dr Hou Wai-kai, Director of Centre for Psychosocial Health (CPH) and Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology, said that 5-10% of the total population in Hong Kong suffer from anxiety and depression.
