Big increase in diabetes 糖尿病患者人数剧增

文字稿

根据世界卫生组织的报告,大约每十一个成人中就有一个人患糖尿病。统计数字显示,全世界每年有150万人因患糖尿病而死亡。以下是 BBC Krista Beighton 的报道:

The World Health Organisation says we are facing an unrelenting march of diabetes cases. In a major report it warns that cases rose from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014.

The increase is predominantly down to type 2 diabetes - the form associated with poor eating habits.

In the 1980s the highest rates were found in affluent countries. But in a remarkable transformation it's now low and middle income countries seeing the steepest increase in cases.

The WHO says the numbers will continue to rise unless drastic action is taken.
