在中国,与交通有关的风险因素是发病率和死亡率的一个主要来源,公路网的扩大和个人车辆拥有量的激增正在对公共卫生产生深远影响。在中国,道路交通伤害和死亡随着机动化运输而增加,事故伤害风险因应急响应系统和创伤护理不足而加剧。国家空气质量标准和排放控制技术正在产生积极的影响,但持续的空气污染越来越多地归因于日益增长和过时的车队,以及众所周知的拥挤道路。城市设计有利于机动化交通,而体育活动及其相关的健康益处受到城市基础设施落后的阻碍。交通运输排放的温室气体在很大程度上加剧了区域和全球气候变化,加剧了多种因素造成的公共健康风险。尽管存在这些复杂的挑战,但技术进步以及规划和政策创新将使中国成为可持续健康交通的领导者。
Transportation-related risk factors are a major source of morbidity and mortality in China, where expansion of road networks and surges in personal vehicle ownership are having profound effects on public health. Road traffic injuries and fatalities have increased alongside motorized transport in China, and accident injury risk is aggravated by inadequate emergency response systems and trauma care. National air quality standards and emission control technologies are having a positive effect, yet persistent air pollution is increasingly attributable to a growing and outdated vehicle fleet, and famously congested roads. Urban design favors motorized transport, and physical activity and its associated health benefits are hindered by poor urban infrastructure. Transport emissions of greenhouse gases contribute substantially to regional and global climate change, which compound public health risks from multiple factors. Despite these complex challenges, technological advances and innovations in planning and policy stand to make China a leader in sustainable, healthy transportation.
