世界卫生组织（WHO）周二警告称，贫困和受教育程度较低的人群面临某些慢性病的更高风险，以及诊断和治疗方面的障碍。
Poorer and less-educated populations face greater risks of certain chronic diseases and barriers to diagnosis and treatment, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned Tuesday.
在这份关于非传染性疾病（NCDs）不平等的首份全球评估报告中，联合国卫生机构考察了癌症、心血管疾病、慢性呼吸系统疾病和糖尿病方面的差异。
In its first global assessment of inequalities in noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), the UN health agency examined disparities in cancer, cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes.
报告还评估了烟草使用、肥胖、不健康饮食和空气污染等风险因素方面的不平等。
The report also assessed inequalities in risk factors, including tobacco use, obesity, unhealthy diets and air pollution.
根据调查结果，低收入和中等收入国家受教育程度较低的人群往往有更高的高血压和糖尿病发病率。
According to the findings, less-educated populations in low- and middle-income countries tend to have higher rates of hypertension and diabetes.
报告发现，贫困和受教育程度较低的女性也更不可能接受宫颈癌筛查。
Poorer and less-educated women are also less likely to receive cervical cancer screening, the report found.
据该机构称，在许多国家，农村人口面临比城市居民更大的高血压诊断和治疗障碍，以及癌症筛查障碍。报告还强调了慢性病风险和医疗服务获取方面基于性别的差异。
Rural populations face greater barriers to hypertension diagnosis and treatment, as well as cancer screening, than urban residents in many countries, according to the agency. The report also highlighted gender-based disparities in chronic disease risks and access to healthcare.
调查结果显示，男性更可能使用烟草和酒精，且更不可能接受高血压诊断和治疗。
Men are more likely to use tobacco and alcohol and less likely to receive hypertension diagnosis and treatment, the findings showed.
与此同时，女性面临更高的身体活动不足和肥胖率，特别是在低收入和中等收入国家。
Women, meanwhile, face higher rates of insufficient physical activity and obesity, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
根据报告，患有高血压的年轻成年人也比老年患者更不可能被诊断和治疗。
Younger adults with hypertension are also less likely to be diagnosed and treated than older patients, according to the report.
世卫组织专家艾哈迈德·礼萨·侯赛因普尔表示：“我们知道健康各个方面都存在不平等，但这是首次系统性地在全球范围内衡量非传染性疾病及其风险因素的不平等。”
"We know that there are inequalities embedded in all aspects of health, but this is the first effort to systematically measure inequalities in NCDs and their risk factors on a global scale," said WHO expert Ahmad Reza Hosseinpoor.
该机构敦促政府加强针对服务不足人群的预防、筛查和治疗服务，并改善数据收集，以识别医疗服务获取方面的差距。
The agency urged governments to strengthen prevention, screening and treatment services for underserved populations and improve data collection to identify gaps in healthcare access.
世卫组织数据总监阿兰·拉布里克表示：“不平等数据不仅仅是记录差异——它们是行动的工具。”
"Inequality data are not simply about documenting differences – they are a tool for action," said WHO Data Director Alain Labrique.
