问题     We might be living for longer than ever, but we are sick. About 95 percent of people have at least one health complaint, with a third of us having more than five. Becoming better at avoiding early death means we spend longer being【C1】______to diseases and disabilities that result from our bodies wearing out. So【C2】______, by pushing back death in the name of health, we are creating more disability overall than if we died younger.
    "The focus of health has been so much on tackling【C3】______of death, rather than disability," says Theo Vos of the University of Washington in Seattle, one of the authors of a study【C4】______how patterns of disease and ill health have changed in 188 countries between 1990 and 2013.

Vos is【C6】______, however, that the diseases and disabilities of ageing are【C7】______being managed better, through better【C8】______and healthier lifestyles.
    Some researchers say that a complete upheaval(大变动)in health systems is needed, which shifts resources from treating disease in hospitals to preventing diseases in the community and in people’s homes. "Don’t wait for illness, invest in the【C9】______of health," says Rifat Atun of Harvard University, the author of an accompanying commentary. "We can’t manage these【C10】______conditions in hospitals, so there needs to be an emphasis on maintaining good health, preventing disease and slowing progression of disease when it does happen," he says. "There’s no choice: It has to happen. "
