The Asia-Pacific region is one of the most important “poles” of world economic development, but the region lacks a mechanism for regional integration and coordination to counter challenges and risks. ASEAN is the earliest example of integration in the region. Thanks to the active promotion and efforts of this organization regional integration in East Asia has formed a new development model, which gives a new idea for the development of regional integration in the Asia-Pacific region.

Since late 80-s of XX century active integration processes are undergoing in the Asia-Pacific region. Asian countries are trying to minimize the negative effects of the shocking changes in the system of international relations and of the global or regional economic crises. United States are quite actively involved in the regional integration. By using the “old” and creating “new” associations USA try to oppose the growing influence of China here. Russia, for its part, is also looking for the effective ways to connect to the Asian integration projects that can improve the socio-economic situation of the population of the Far East and will enable us to make a significant contribution to the development of economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region.

ObjectiveTo determine physicians’ knowledge, awareness and preferences regarding the care of familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) in the Asia-Pacific region.SettingA formal questionnaire was anonymously completed by physicians from different countries/regions in the Asia-Pacific. The survey sought responses relating to general familiarity, awareness of management guidelines, identification (clinical characteristics and lipid profile), prevalence and inheritance, extent of elevation in risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and practice on screening and treatment.ParticipantsPractising community physicians from Australia, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Philippines, Hong Kong, China, Vietnam and Taiwan were recruited to complete the questionnaire, with the UK as the international benchmark.Primary outcomeAn assessment and comparison of the knowledge, awareness and preferences of FH among physicians in 10 different countries/regions.Results1078 physicians completed the questionnaire from the Asia-Pacific region; only 34% considered themselves to be familiar with FH. 72% correctly described FH and 65% identified the typical lipid profile, with a higher proportion of physicians from Japan and China selecting the correct FH definition and lipid profile compared with those from Vietnam and Philippines. However, less than half of the physician were aware of national or international management guidelines; this was significantly worse than physicians from the UK (35% vs 61%, p<0.001). Knowledge of prevalence (24%), inheritability (41%) and CVD risk (9%) of FH were also suboptimal. The majority of the physicians considered laboratory interpretative commenting as being useful (81%) and statin therapy as an appropriate cholesterol-lowering therapy (89%) for FH management.ConclusionsThe study identified important gaps, which are readily addressable, in the awareness and knowledge of FH among physicians in the region. Implementation of country-specific guidelines and extensive work in FH education and awareness programmes are imperative to improve the care of FH in the region.

Economic Future

Australia's economic future depends on policies to achieve economic allies and prosperity within the Asia—Pacific region. To do this more than expanding primary exports is needed, because the growth rate of primary industry is relatively low. There are already countries in the Asia—Pacific region who have specialised in secondary industry, but Australia is well placed to specialise in leisure and tourism and also in the information industry, meaning not computing but consulting work and research.
