Abstract

Background: The life expectancy (LE) index reflects health changes in society, highlighting trends in health quality and quantity. This study focused on analysing the impact of the top 10 causes of death on the global increase in LE in 2019.

Methods: Data on the top 10 causes of death in 2019 were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease website and a period life table was used to assess how eliminating these causes would impact LE.

Results: At the global level, eliminating deaths from ischaemic heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lower respiratory infections, neonatal conditions, lung cancers, Alzheimer's disease, diarrheal diseases, diabetes mellitus and kidney diseases resulted in an increase in LE at birth of 2.44, 1.64, 0.75, 0.80, 4.06, 0.48, 0.36, 0.52, 0.36 and 0.35 y, respectively.

Conclusions: The analysis reveals a gender gap in LE influenced by specific causes of death and regional differences. Therefore, public health policies should be customized for each area to target reductions in deaths that significantly improve LE.

2019年解决全球十大死亡原因对预期寿命的影响：全球和区域分析

背景：预期寿命（LE）指数反映了社会的健康变化，突出了健康质量和数量的趋势。本研究重点分析了2019年十大死亡原因对全球死亡人数增长的影响。方法：从全球疾病负担网站获取2019年十大死亡原因的数据，并使用周期生命表来评估消除这些原因将如何影响LE。结果：在全球范围内，消除缺血性心脏病、中风、慢性阻塞性肺病、下呼吸道感染、新生儿疾病、肺癌、阿尔茨海默病、腹泻病、糖尿病和肾脏疾病导致的死亡，出生时LE分别增加2.44、1.64、0.75、0.80、4.06、0.48、0.36、0.52、0.36和0.35 y。结论：分析显示，受具体死亡原因和地区差异的影响，LE存在性别差异。因此，公共卫生政策应针对每个地区进行定制，以减少显著改善低死亡率的死亡为目标。
