During the past 35 years Oman has undergone a rapid socioeconomic and epidemiological transition leading to a steep reduction in child and adult mortality and morbidity due to the decline of various communicable diseases, including vaccine-preventable diseases. Good governance and planning, together with leadership and commitment by the government, has been a critical factor in this reduction. However, with increasing prosperity, lifestyle-related noncommunicable diseases have emerged as new health challenges to the country, with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and obesity in the lead among other chronic conditions. Appropriate prevention strategies for reducing the burden of noncommunicable diseases are discussed.
在过去35年里，阿曼经历了快速的社会经济和流行病学转变，由于包括疫苗可预防疾病在内的各种传染病的减少，儿童和成人的死亡率及发病率大幅下降。良好的治理和规划，以及政府的领导和承诺，是这一下降的关键因素。然而，随着经济日益繁荣，与生活方式相关的非传染性疾病已成为该国新的健康挑战，心血管疾病、糖尿病和肥胖症在其他慢性病中位居前列。本文讨论了减轻非传染性疾病负担的适当预防策略。
