Description
Summary:Objective To analyze the level and trend of diabetes mellitus (DM) in Mexico, and its contribution to the changes in temporary life expectancy between 20 and 100 years of age, in the period 1990-2010. Materials and Methods Data comes from National Mortality Vital Statistics and from the Population Census from the Mexican National Institute of Geography and Statistics (INEGI). We calculated standardized mortality rates. To analyze the impact of DM on the temporary life expectancy (80e20) we used Pollard's method. Results Between 1990 and 2010, the standardized mortality rate for people 20 years and older increased by 224%. The contribution of DM for men to the change in life expectancy during 1990-2000 was a reduction of 0.31 years; for women was a reduction of 0.32 years; in the period 2000-2010 the reduction continued for both men and women (0.34 and 0.12 years respectively). Conclusions Mortality from DM continues to increase, especially for men, but for women a modest reduction was observed. It is essential to apply health services and programs aimed at reducing mortality from this cause, focused on prevention, early detection and timely treatment, with concrete actions on vulnerable groups. Key Words: Diabetes mellitus, mortality, life expectancy, Mexico, mortality rate (source: MeSH, NLM). Objetivo Analizar el nivel y la tendencia de la mortalidad por Diabetes mellitus (DM) en Mexico, asi como su contribucion al cambio en la esperanza de vida temporaria entre los 20 y 100 anos de edad, a nivel nacional para el periodo 1990-2010. Material y Metodos La informacion se obtuvo de las Estadisticas Vitales de Mortalidad y de los censos de poblacion del Instituto Nacional de Estadistica y Geografia (INEGI). Se calcularon las tasas estandarizadas de mortalidad y para analizar el impacto de la DM en el cambio de la esperanza de vida temporaria (80e20), se empleo la propuesta de Pollard de 1982. Resultados Entre 1990 y 2010, la tasa estandarizada de diabetes para personas mayores a 20 anos aumento 224,0%. La contribucion de la DM para hombres al cambio en la esperanza de vida temporaria entre 1990 y 2000 fue una disminucion 0,31 anos; para mujeres fue una reduccion de 0,32 anos; para 2000-2010 continuo la disminucion de la esperanza de vida de hombres y mujeres debido a la DM (0,34 anos y 0,12 anos respectivamente). Conclusiones La mortalidad por DM continua incrementandose en el pais, especialmente para hombres, en cambio para mujeres se observa un avance modes
