Income inequality as a determinant of neonatal mortality in the Americas during 2000–2019
The analysis suggests that income inequality may be positively associated with the neonatal mortality rate in the Americas. Nonetheless, given the modest magnitude of the estimates and Gini values and trends during 2000-2019, the findings suggest a potential limited scope for redistributive policies to support reductions in neonatal mortality in the region. Thus, policies and interventions that address higher coverage and quality of services prov…

The BIRMM methodology is an effective tool for correcting underreporting and misclassification of maternal deaths, allowing better surveillance and response to this problem. Its adoption and routine implementation are essential to improve the quality of maternal mortality information and reduce maternal deaths in the Region of the Americas. The sustainability of this methodology depends on institutional commitment and political will in the countr…
Neonatal mortality in countries of the Americas, 2000–2020
Objective. To analyze temporal trends and inequalities in neonatal mortality between 2000 and 2020, and to set neonatal mortality targets for 2025 and 2030 in the Americas. Methods. A descriptive ecological study was conducted using 33 countries of the Americas as units of analysis. Both the percentage change and average annual percentage change in neonatal mortality rates were estimated. Measurements of absolute and relative inequality based on …
Scenarios of maternal mortality reduction by 2030 in the Americas
The dual challenge of reducing maternal mortality and abating its inequalities will demand hefty efforts from countries of the Americas. This remains true to their collective 2030 MMR target while leaving no one behind. These efforts should be mainly directed towards significantly speeding up the tempo of the MMR reduction and applying sensible progressivity, targeting on groups and territories with higher MMR and greater social vulnerabilities, …
Homicide among young people in the countries of the Americas
Objective. To examine the homicide trends among young people (10–24 years), adolescents (10–19 years), and young adults (20–24 years) in 33 countries in the Americas between 2000 and 2019, with a focus on inequalities between countries in the burden of homicides. Methods. An ecological study was performed using estimated deaths from 33 countries. Age-adjusted rates, percentage change (PC), average annual percentage change (AAPC), and relative ris…
Asociación entre el control de la hipertensión arterial en la población y la mortalidad por cardiopatía isquémica y accidente cerebrovascular en 36 países y territorios de la Región de las Américas, 1…
Objetivo. Cuantificar la asociación entre la prevalencia de control de la hipertensión arterial a nivel poblacional y la mortalidad por cardiopatía isquémica y accidente cerebrovascular en 36 países y territorios de la Región de las Américas entre 1990 y el 2019. Métodos. Este estudio ecológico emplea la prevalencia de la hipertensión, la concientización, el tratamiento y el control de la hipertensión arterial en la población producidos por la Co…
Association between population hypertension control and ischemic heart disease and stroke mortality in 36 countries of the Americas, 1990-2019
Objective. To quantify the association between the prevalence of population hypertension control and ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke mortality in 36 countries of the Americas from 1990 to 2019. Methods. This ecologic study uses the prevalence of hypertension, awareness, treatment, and control from the NCD-RisC and IHD and stroke mortality from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. Regression analysis was used to assess time trends and …
Life expectancy, healthy life expectancy, and burden of disease in older people in the Americas, 1990–2019
The increase in life expectancy and decrease of DALYs indicate the positive effect of improvements in social conditions and health policies. However, the smaller increase in healthy life expectancy suggests that, despite living longer, people spend a substantial amount of time in their old age with disability and illness. Preventable and controllable diseases account for most of the disease burden in older adults in the Americas. Society-wide and…
Chronic kidney disease mortality trends in selected Central America countries, 1997–2013
BACKGROUND: In Central America, chronic interstitial nephritis of agricultural communities (CINAC) has reached epidemic proportions. Clusters of cases have been described in several farming communities. Its aetiology remains uncertain and a controversy exists on its key triggers, among them the heat stress-dehydration mechanism and the toxic exposure to agrochemicals. METHODS: This study analysed the mortality pattern and trend of chronic kidney …
