今年十大死因其中五項死亡率較往年增加
What afflictions are people most likely to die of in Taiwan? According to statistics for 2004 released by the Department of Health Tuesday, cancer still tops the list, followed by heart disease, strokes, diabetes and accidents. The remainder of the top ten is made up by pneumonia, liver disease, kidney disease, suicide and high blood pressure.
DOH Statistics Department Huang Syu-ming: The top 10 causes of death are exactly the same as last year, said Huang Syu-ming, head of the Department of Health's Statistics Department. Cancer is still number one.
While the order of the nation's biggest killers remains unchanged, deaths from heart disease, accidents, pneumonia, kidney disease and suicide rose during 2004. Depression sufferers made up the vast majority of those who took their own lives.
Bureau of Health Promotion Jhao Kun-yu: Deputy director-general of the Bureau of Health Promotion, Jhao Kun-yu, said most suicides were related to depression and while those with the disease don't necessarily think about taking their own lives, one in ten depression sufferers contemplates suicide.
Cancer has topped the list for several years. Taiwan's male population is most likely to die from liver cancer followed by oral and lung cancer. Women on the other hand are most likely to succumb to breast, lung and colonic cancer. The differences between the genders appears to stem from differing lifestyles.
Bureau of Health Promotion Jhao Kun-yu: Quite a few kinds of cancer are related to people being overweight, Jhao said, colonic and breast cancer for example. Chewing betel nut and smoking are the most common causes of oral cancer.
Doctors recommend a healthy diet and exercise as well as avoiding cigarettes and alcohol as the best way of steering clear of cancer.
什麼疾病才是國人健康的最大危機？去年93年國人十大死因出爐，第一名還是惡性腫瘤再度蟬連，其次是心臟病、腦血管疾病、糖尿病、事故傷害、位居前五名，六到十名則是肺炎、慢性肝病、腎臟疾病、自殺、還有高血壓。
行政院衛生署統計室主任黃旭明：今年十大死因，就去年來講，內容是完全一樣的，無論如何，惡性腫瘤，它還是在第一名。
十大死因不僅第一名惡性腫瘤沒變，前年其他九項疾病也全都上榜，要注意的是，心臟病、事故傷害、肺炎、腎臟病、和自殺等五項的死亡率較前年增加，尤其憂鬱症患者還是自殺的最大宗。
國民健康局副局長趙坤郁：研究裡面顯示，最常見的原因之一，跟憂鬱症有相關，雖然說憂鬱症不一定有自殺意念，但十分之一憂鬱患者曾經有過自殺意念。
惡性腫瘤年年都位居榜首，男性最容易罹患的癌症，分別是肝癌、口腔癌和肺癌，女性則是乳癌、肺癌和大腸癌，最主要的原因都和生活習慣不良有關。
國民健康局副局長趙坤郁：有相當多的癌症是和肥胖有關，比如說大腸癌和乳癌可能有相關，口腔癌最常見原因是檳榔和吸煙。
肥胖、菸酒不離身，都有可能讓癌症找上您，想要和惡性腫瘤保持距離，拒絕有害健康的物質，才是上上策。
