| Beskrivelse: | Introduction: Studies have been conducted in Mexico on indicators of socioeconomic status in relation to morbidity, incidence, survival, mortality, and lethality due to Covid-19, with the exception of life expectancy (LE). This study proposes to examine LE for the year 2020 in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and to analyze its relationship with indicators of marginalization in Mexican municipalities. Methodology: LE was calculated using the standard actuarial method based on death information from the Mexican Ministry of Health. Demographic information and indicators of marginalization were obtained from the National Population Council. Correlations and risk analyses were performed to evaluate the relationship between LE and marginalization indicators. A multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) was performed with indicators of education, income, housing, population size and LE. Results: The effect of marginalization indicators on LE indicate that the higher the percentage of marginalization, the higher the effect on LE. The population size of the municipalities had a positive relationship with LE, that is, the larger the population size, the greater the loss in years of LE. MCA reveals clear territorial polarization of well-being and longevity in Mexican municipalities, with educational attainment, income and population size remaining key determinants of LE. Conclusion: These results suggest that the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on LE was greater in populations with larger communities and, at the same time, the highest percentage of marginalization indicators was found in populations with smaller size. |
