世卫公布全球十大死因
Causes of death worldwide 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. The new data cover the period from 2000 to 2019. 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. Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia are now among the top 10 causes of death worldwide. Deaths from diabetes increased by 70% globally between 2000 and 2019, with an 80% rise in deaths among males. 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. |
