Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) disproportionately affect disadvantaged populations as the 2012 World Health Organization (WHO) report on the global impact of NTDs points out. The same social determinants that impact the prevalence of the 17 current NTDs: inadequate drinking water and sanitation, crowded living conditions, environmental impacts on food and water, ethnicity as well as poverty contribute to Helicobacter pylori infections worldwide.
被忽视的热带病(NTDs)不成比例地影响到弱势群体,正如 2012 年世界卫生组织(WHO)关于 NTDs 全球影响的报告所指出的。影响 17 种现有 NTDs 流行的同样社会决定因素:饮用水和卫生设施不足、居住条件拥挤、食物和水的环境影响、种族以及贫困,也导致了全球范围内的幽门螺杆菌感染。
