Description
Panliang Zhong and co-authors chart deaths from respiratory diseases among older adults in China from 1987 to 2021, in a 2023 report. Lung diseases are the top killer of China's elderly, yet city and countryside patterns were little known.
Standardized death rates fell steadily in both urban and rural areas, for men and women alike. One exception stood out: pneumonia death rates barely moved among city elderly and rural men. Chronic lower airway disease and pneumonia remain the burdens to cut. The authors direct public health effort there, with special attention to urban populations where progress has stalled.
