| Summary/Abstract |
This year, we commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of World War I, the so-called "war to end all wars." In reality, 1914 saw the beginning of a three-decade-long global nadir that encompassed two brutal world conflicts, a devastating influenza pandemic, and a worldwide depression. One hundred years later, the average person is about eight times richer than a century ago, living standards have soared, and average life expectancy has risen by over twenty years. The threat of war between great powers has declined, and our genetic code and universe have been unlocked in previously inconceivable ways. Many of today's goods are unimaginable without collective contributions from different parts of the world, a world through which more of us can move freely, provided we have the documents and means to do so. Our world is functionally smaller, and its possibilities are bigger and brighter than ever before.

| Summary/Abstract |
The rise of non-communicable diseases has placed enormous stress on health systems leading to calls for improved prevention. This article examines the association of risk factors and non-communicable disease diagnosis in China using longitudinal data which enables us to control for important simultaneity bias. Using three waves of the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) survey (2010–2014) and a dynamic model conditional on not having an NCD in the first period, we find positive association of being obese, using solid cooking fuels, history of frequent drinking, and household consumption expenditure during the preceding period on non-communicable disease onset. We find significant heterogeneity in risks across the population suggesting that a targeted policy response is required to reduce the burden of non-communicable disease in China.
