[社论] 在瞬息万变的世界中改善男性健康
摘要
许多男性未能健康成长。男性预期寿命低于女性的现象最早出现于19世纪，且这一差距持续扩大（尽管存在地域差异）。男性的疾病负担更重：全球伤残调整生命年男性比女性高出16%。造成这些差异的主要因素包括非传染性疾病（心血管疾病、癌症和糖尿病）、外部原因（自杀、道路交通伤害、跌倒和人际暴力）、传染性疾病（呼吸道感染、结核病、HIV/艾滋病和肝炎）以及物质使用（酒精相关和毒品相关危害）。

Many men are failing to thrive. Shorter life expectancies for men than for woman first emerged in the 19th century and the gap has continued to widen (albeit with geographical variations). Men have a higher burden of illness: global disability-adjusted life-years are 16% greater among men than women. The primary drivers of these differences include non-communicable diseases (cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes), external causes (suicide, road traffic injuries, falls, and interpersonal violence), communicable diseases (respiratory infections, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis), and substance use (alcohol-related and drug-related harms).
