Heart disease, cancer and stroke(中风) are now the top killers of middle-aged people in China, followed by high blood pressure and smoking, which have developed alongside the country’s economy, according to one of the largest surveys of its kind.
The research into the major causes of death in adults found that over the past 45 years, China has experienced a huge health transition. Infectious disease has been replaced by the same chronic (慢性的) killers that plague(困扰) the West.
The findings from the study of nearly 170,000 Chinese men and women over age 40 showed that about two-thirds of the 20,033 people who died during the research period were killed by heart disease, cancer or stroke.
Of those deaths involving people in their 40s to mid-60s—prime working years—Chinese mortality(死亡率) rates from each of the three categories topped deaths among the same age group in the United States, according to the study.
This study indicates that chronic disease is not only the leading cause of death in wealthy countries, but also in developing countries, such as China.
The findings also revealed more deaths occurred from the top three chronic diseases in China’s rural areas than in cities, indicating the problem is widespread. Robert Beaglehole, the World Health Organization’s director of chronic diseases, urged China to learn from the struggles of wealthier countries and to develop a strategy to combat chronic diseases, while still addressing (对付) high-profile infectious diseases like AIDS and bird flu(禽流感).
The study found that Chinese men are slightly more at risk than women, with 68.7 percent of male participants dying from the top three killers compared to 62.6 percent of females.
High blood pressure was the top preventable contributing factor to the deaths, followed by cigarette smoking, physical inactivity and being underweight.
Lung cancer was the top cause of death in that disease category, and 63 percent of the men surveyed were smokers. Many experts in China called on the government to decrease tobacco advertising and raise taxes on cigarettes, while prohibiting smoking in public places.
