新西兰的死亡率高于澳大利亚,预期寿命也低于澳大利亚,原因是心脏病、肥胖症和血压控制恶化。 New Zealand has higher death rates and lower life expectancy than Australia, driven by worse heart disease, obesity, and blood pressure control.

一项新的“柳叶刀”研究显示,新西兰的死亡率和预期寿命都高于澳大利亚,与澳大利亚的347人相比,新西兰的死亡率为每100 000人中431人死亡,预期寿命为81.6岁,比澳大利亚低84.0岁。 A new Lancet study reveals New Zealand has higher mortality and lower life expectancy than Australia, with a death rate of 431 per 100,000 compared to Australia’s 347, and life expectancy at 81.6 years versus 84.0. 缺血性心脏病是这两种疾病的首要死因,但近两倍于新西兰的发病率。 Ischaemic heart disease is the top cause of death in both, but nearly twice as prevalent in New Zealand. 中风在新西兰排名第二，阿尔茨海默氏症在澳大利亚排名第二。 Stroke is second in New Zealand, Alzheimer’s in Australia. 高体重指数是两者中的主要风险因素,对新西兰的影响更大,而高血压则是新西兰的一个主要关切,表明在预防方面存在差距。 High body mass index is the leading risk factor in both, with greater impact in New Zealand, while high blood pressure is a major concern there, signaling gaps in prevention. 专家们敦促在改变生活方式、控制血压和减少肥胖症方面加强公共卫生工作,以缩小日益扩大的健康差距。 Experts urge stronger public health efforts on lifestyle changes, blood pressure control, and obesity reduction to close the widening health gap.
