For each country, researchers estimated the probability that a fifteen- year- old today will die an early death before the age of sixty. They found that the country with the lowest risk of premature death for women is Cyprus. For men the country with the best rate is Iceland. The study estimated mortality rates for people age fifteen to fifty- nine in one hundred eighty- seven countries. The report appeared last week in the Lancet medical journal. Worldwide, in the last forty years, death rates have decreased nineteen percent for men. But the study found that death rates for women have fallen by thirty- four percent. Chris Murray from the University of Washington in the Pacific Northwest led the study. He says major progress has been made since nineteen seventy in reducing deaths of mothers and children. But he points to growing inequalities in adult mortality - - a massive spread between countries with the highest rates and those with the lowest. For example, for men in Swaziland, the difference between the best rate and the worst 一项新的研究调查并比较了过去 40 年间 全球成人死亡率。科研人员估计了各国现 年15岁的青少年在60 岁之前早逝的可能 性。他们发现，女性早逝风险最低的国家 是（西亚岛国）塞浦路斯，男性早逝风险 最低的国家是冰岛。 这项研究估计了 187 个国家的年龄在 15- 59 岁的个体死亡率。研究报告于上周 刊登在医学期刊柳叶刀上。 在过去 40 年间，全球范围内男性死亡率 降低了 19%，但该研究发现，女性死亡率 降低了 34%。 来自华盛顿大学（位于太平洋西北地区） 的 Chris Murray 领导了这项研究。他说， 自1970年开展降低母婴死亡率行动以来， 这方面取得了重大进步。但他指出成人死 亡率存在发展不平衡，最高和最低死亡率 国家之间“差幅巨大” 。 比如， （非洲东南部国家）史瓦济兰的男 性死亡率最高，和最低死亡率之间相差高 UNSV.COM 英语阅读翻译对照 May 5th, 2010 Study Finds Risk of Early Death Lowest for Adults in Iceland, Cyprus Page 2 rate is nine times higher. The study did find improvements in sub- Saharan Africa in the last five years, however, possibly as a result of expanded efforts against AIDS. But in the last twenty years, H.I.V. and the collapse of the Soviet Union helped raise death rates in thirty- seven countries worldwide. Also, the study says the United States fell from thirty- fourth to forty- ninth in female mortality and from forty- first to forty- fifth for men. Those estimates put the country behind western Europe as well as countries like Albania, Chile and Tunisia. The researchers noted a big change in the list of countries with the lowest adult mortality over the past forty years. Only three countries have stayed in the top ten for the lowest male death rates all that time. Those countries are Sweden, the Netherlands and Norway. The researchers say estimating and preventing early deaths in adults is just as important as improving child survival. Millions of children die before their fifth birthday. But the researchers say three times as many adults die before their sixtieth. 达九倍。 该研究确实发现， 在过去五年间， 撒哈拉以南非洲地区取得了进步。但这可 能是加大力度抗击艾滋的结果。 但在过去 20 年间，艾滋病毒以及苏联解 体提高了全球 37 个国家的死亡率。此外， 该研究指出美国女性死亡率从第 34 位跌 到 49 位，男性从 41 位跌到 45 位。他们 的估计结果将美国排在了西欧以及阿尔 巴尼亚、智利和（北非国家）突尼斯之后。 科研人员指出，在过去 40 年期，最低成 人死亡率国家列表有重大变化。只有三个 国家一直保持在最低男性死亡率前十位。 这些国家是瑞典、芬兰和挪威。 科研
