摘要


目標:本研究簡介世界衛生組織(WHO)之死亡率分組,以台灣補充資料為台灣分組,並呈現台灣與世界衛生報告西太平洋地區國家之基本健康指標,供讀者參考。方法:本研究合併衛生署統計室發佈之台灣補充資料,以及世界衛生報告之西太平洋地區國家之基本健康指標,進行分組及製表。結果:依照2000年WHO之死亡率分組,台灣應可與西太平洋地區之澳洲、汶萊、日本、新加坡與紐西蘭等五國並列健康狀況最佳之A組國家。本研究並製表呈現1992-2002年,台灣與西太平洋地區國家之基本健康指標供讀者參考。結論:雖然世界衛生報告中的統計資料,無論資料來源或是其統計方式,都存在許多爭議,不過知己知彼,瞭解台灣的健康分組與西太平洋地區國家的基本健康指標,仍有助於台灣近年來積極發展之國際衛生。

Objectives: We introduce the five mortality strata used by the World Health Organization (WHO) to define subregions, apply the definition to classify Taiwan, and provide information of the Western Pacific countries for the readers' references. Methods: We retrieved the annual health statistics form the World Health Organization, and combined the data with Taiwan Supplement. Results: According to the WHO classification in 2000, Taiwan should be in the subregion of the Western Pacific group A (WPR-A) countries. Currently, the five WPR-A countries are Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Japan, New Zealand, and Singapore. We presented the basic health indicators of Taiwan and some other Western Pacific countries. Conclusions: Though there are debates of the WHO statistics, exploring the mortality strata and health indicators of the Western Pacific countries is helpful for the public health of Taiwan.
