世衛公佈全球十大死因

Noncommunicable diseases now make up 7 of the world's top 10 causes of death, according to WHO's 2019 GlobAl Health estimates, published on Wednesday. This is an increase from 4 in 2000.

世界衛生組織12月9日發佈的《2019年全球健康評估》報告顯示，在過去20年全球十大死因中，非傳染性疾病佔了7個，而在2000年的統計中只佔4個。

The new data cover the period from 2000 to 2019.

這份報告涵蓋了2000年至2019年的全球健康數據。

Heart disease has remained the leading cause of death at the global level for the last 20 years, now representing 16% of total deaths from all causes.

其中，心臟病在過去20年裏一直是“頭號殺手”，目前死於心臟病的人數佔全部死亡人數的16%。

Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia are now among the top 10 causes of death worldwide.

阿爾茨海默症和其他形式的癡呆症躋身全球十大死因之列。

Deaths from diabetes increased by 70% globally between 2000 and 2019, with an 80% rise in deaths among males.

2000年至2019年，全球糖尿病致死人數增加了70%，其中男性死於糖尿病的人數增加了80%。

The estimates further confirm the growing trend for longevity: in 2019, people were living more than 6 years longer than in 2000, with a global average of more than 73 years in 2019 compared to nearly 67 in 2000.

報告還發現，過去20年中人類壽命在延長。2019年人類預期壽命比2000年延長6歲以上，全球平均壽命從2000年的近67歲上升到2019年的73歲以上。
