Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of death globally, which kill more each year than all other causes combined. It is estimated that 63% of global total deaths were due to NCDs. Nearly 80% of NCD deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. China contributes the largest number of NCD patients and deaths. NCD rates have been increasing at an alarming rate over the past two decades in China and many other countries. Population-wide interventions can help reduce NCD burden and can be cost effective. Improved health care, early detection and timely treatment are also needed for reducing the impact of NCDs. Strong government commitment, adequate investment, and extensive involvement and collaboration of multiple diverse social sectors with health sectors are critical to fight the NCD burden in all countries, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
非传染性疾病是全球主要死因，每年造成的死亡人数超过所有其他死因的总和。据估计，全球死亡总数的63% 归因于非传染性疾病。近80% 的非传染性疾病死亡发生在低收入和中等收入国家。中国的非传染性疾病患者和死亡人数最多。在过去二十年里，中国和许多其他国家的非传染性疾病发病率一直以惊人的速度上升。全人群干预有助于减轻非传染性疾病负担，且具有成本效益。还需要改善医疗保健、早期发现和及时治疗，以减少非传染性疾病的影响。强有力的政府承诺、充足的投资，以及多个不同社会部门与卫生部门的广泛参与和合作，对于各国，尤其是低收入和中等收入国家应对非传染性疾病负担至关重要。
