WHO: China's per capita healthy life expectancy surpasses that of the United States
Observer network 2018-05-31 17:23:36
[Compiler/Observer Network Ma Xue] The World Health Organization (WHO) released its latest report "World Health Statistics 2018" on May 17 in Geneva. According to WHO data, the life expectancy at birth of Chinese babies exceeds that of the United States for the first time.

According to 2016 data, the Chinese baby's healthy life expectancy at birth exceeded the United States for the first time. China was 68.7 years old, which is higher than the United States' 68.5 years old.
However, the average life expectancy (life expectancy at birth) of a baby in the United States reached 78.5 years, still higher than China's 76.4 years old. However, the report said that the quality of life of Americans in the last 10 years is not optimistic.

According to Reuters, the WHO spokesman Alison Clements-Hunt pointed out: "Compared with healthy life expectancy, a feature was found in China, Japan, South Korea and some other Asian countries. In countries with income, people lose less years of health than high-income Western countries."
Data show that in 2016, the life expectancy at birth in the United States, Somalia, Afghanistan, Georgia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines declined.
The best prospects for newborns in Singapore in 2016 are that they have an average of 76.2 years of health, followed by Japan, Spain and Switzerland. In this data ranking, China ranked 37th and the United States ranked 40th.
Reuters analysis pointed out that China’s per capita life expectancy is catching up with the United States, and it will exceed the United States in 2027.
Alison pointed out that "China's per capita life expectancy is growing substantially, and it has now surpassed some high-income countries." At the same time, the average life expectancy of Americans is declining. The 79-year-old in 2014 has become the peak.

Alison said that this reflects the increase in the rate of death due to excessive drug intake, especially in areas where the United States is not well-to-do, and that middle-aged people will take opiate drugs, commit suicide, and die for other reasons.
The data also shows that Japan is the country with the longest life expectancy, up to 84.2 years old, which means that Japanese babies born in 2016 can expect to witness the coming of the next century.
The average life expectancy is the number of years in which the average age can continue to survive after reaching the age of X in a certain age-specific mortality rate. It is an indicator of the health of a country, a nation, and a region. It is based on the current age-specific mortality rate, but in fact, the mortality rate is constantly changing. Therefore, the average life expectancy is a hypothetical indicator. Healthy life expectancy is also a relative figure, estimating the average number of years a person survives in full health.

According to the official website of WHO, the life expectancy at birth of a child reflects the overall death rate, and it summarizes the patterns of mortality for all age groups in a given year, including children, adolescents, adults and the elderly.
WHO data show that the global life expectancy at birth for babies in 2016 was 72.0 years (74.2 years for women and 69.8 years for men), 61.2 years for Africa and 77.5 years for Europe.
The global life expectancy at birth for infants in 2016 was 63.3 years (64.8 years for women and 62 years for men), 53.8 years for Africa and 68.4 years for Europe.
The data shows that the life expectancy of women around the world is generally longer than that of men. The difference in life expectancy before sex in 2000 was 4.3 years, and by 2016 it remained almost unchanged (4.4 years).

According to the 2016 statistical report of WHO, from 2000 to 2015, the global human life expectancy has increased by 5 years, which is the fastest increase since the 1960s. However, health inequalities within and between countries persist.
The region defined by WHO is the best performer, with the largest increase. Benefiting from improved child survival, effective control of malaria and progress in HIV treatment, life expectancy in Africa has increased by 9.4 to 60 years. In the 1990s, human life expectancy in the African region showed a downward trend due to the ravages of AIDS. The past 15 years have reversed this trend.
According to the official website of WHO, the World Health Statistics report in 2018 also shows that half of the world’s population is still unable to obtain the required health services. Of the global population of under 70 years old, 13 million die from cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes and cancer, which are mainly concentrated in low- and middle-income countries. In 2016, an average of 15,000 children under the age of 5 die every day.
世卫：中国人均健康预期寿命首超美国

【编译/观察者网 马雪】世界卫生组织（WHO）5月17日在日内瓦发布最新报告《世界卫生统计2018》。根据世卫组织数据，中国婴儿出生时的健康预期寿命首次超过美国。
《路透社》报道截图
数据显示，根据2016年的数据，中国婴儿出生时的健康预期寿命（Healthy life expectancy at birth）首次超越美国，中国为68.7岁，高于美国的68.5岁。
不过，美国婴儿出生时的人均预期寿命（life expectancy at birth）达到78.5岁，仍高于中国的76.4岁。但报告称，美国人最后10年的生命质量不容乐观。

据路透社报道，世界卫生组织发言人艾莉森·克莱门特-亨特（Alison Clements-Hunt）指出：“对比健康预期寿命时发现一个特点，在中国，日本，韩国和一些其他亚洲高收入国家，人们失去健康的岁月要比高收入的西方国家少。”
数据显示，2016年，美国、索马里、阿富汗、格鲁吉亚、圣文森特和格林纳丁斯5国的出生时健康预期寿命有所下降。
新加坡2016年的新生儿前景最好，他们平均可拥有高达76.2年的健康时间，紧跟其后的是日本、西班牙和瑞士。在这项数据排名中，中国排名第37，美国排第40名。
路透社分析指出，中国人均预期寿命正在追上美国，2027年将超过美国。
艾莉森指出，“中国人均预期寿命正大幅增长，目前已经超过了部分高收入国家。”与此同时，美国人均预期寿命则在下降，2014年的79岁已成为峰顶。

艾莉森表示，这反映出由于药物摄入过量而致死的比率增加，尤其在美国不太富裕的地区，中年人会服用鸦片类药物、自杀以及其他一些原因致死。
数据也显示，日本是人均寿命最长的国家，高达84.2岁，这也意味着2016年出生的日本婴儿，能够期待见证下个世纪的到来。
平均预期寿命是在一定的年龄别死亡率水平下，活到确切年龄X岁以后，平均还能继续生存的年数，它是衡量一个国家、民族和地区居民健康水平的一个指标。它以当前分年龄死亡率为基础计算，但实际上，死亡率是不断变化的，因此，平均预期寿命是一个假定的指标。健康预期寿命也是一个相对数据，估算的是一个人在完全健康状态下生存的平均年数。

据世卫组织官网介绍，婴儿出生时的预期寿命反映了总体死亡率，总结了特定年份所有年龄组的死亡率模式，包括儿童、青少年、成年人和老年人。
世卫组织数据显示，2016年全球婴儿出生时预期寿命为72.0岁（女性为74.2岁，男性为69.8岁），非洲地区的数据为61.2岁，欧洲地区为77.5岁。
2016年全球婴儿出生时健康预期寿命为63.3岁（女性64.8岁，男性为62岁），非洲地区的数据为53.8岁，欧洲地区为68.4岁。
数据显示，世界各地的女性寿命总体比男性长，2000年两性之前的预期寿命差距为4.3年，到2016年几乎保持不变（4.4年）。

根据世卫组织2016年的统计报告，2000年至2015年，全球人类预期寿命增长了5岁，是上世纪60年代以来最快增幅。然而，国家内部、国与国之间的健康不平等现象依旧存在。
世卫组织界定的非洲区域表现最佳，创最大增幅。受益于儿童存活率的提高、疟疾有效控制和治疗艾滋病病毒的进步，非洲地区预期寿命增长了9.4岁，至60岁。上世纪90年代，由于艾滋病肆虐，非洲区域的人类预期寿命呈现下降趋势。而过去15年扭转了这一势头。
据世卫组织官网，2018年的《世界卫生统计》报告也显示，目前世界上仍有半数人口无法获得所需的卫生服务。全球每年70岁以下人口中有1300万人死于心血管疾病、慢性呼吸道疾病、糖尿病和癌症，主要集中在中低收入国家；2016年平均每天有1.5万名5岁以下儿童死亡。
