WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: The impacts of population aging have appeared in China, leading to a marked shift in the major contributors to life expectancy. Longevity improvements are now mainly promoted by reductions in mortality rates of the aged.
WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT?: This study systematically evaluates both changes in mortality rates of major chronic diseases among populations aged over 60 years as well as their contributions to life expectancy increases in China, from 2005 to 2020.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE?: The results of this study demonstrate that more attention should be paid to health conditions of the elderly, especially for the prevention and control of major chronic diseases.
人口老龄化的影响在中国已经显现，导致预期寿命的主要影响因素发生了显著变化。如今，预期寿命的提高主要得益于老年人死亡率的降低。
本研究系统评估了2005年至2020年中国60岁以上人群主要慢性病死亡率的变化及其对预期寿命增加的贡献。
本研究结果表明，应更加关注老年人的健康状况，尤其是对主要慢性病的预防和控制。
