Abstract:

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading causes of death in the world and in Colombia being considered as a serious public health problem. The main goal of this study was to analyze spatially and temporarily CVD mortality in the Pacific region of Colombia during the period 2002-2015 and its association with some municipal socio-economic indicators using spatial statistical analysis techniques. It was a descriptive-ecological study in the 177 municipalities of the Pacific region that used CVD mortality data, under codes I00-I99 of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), and seven municipal socio-economic indicators. The analysis included calculation of crude and standardized mortality rates, according to sex, for CVD and its main causes, and modeling of CVD death counts using Bayesian hierarchical models. During the 2002-2015 period, standardized rates of CVD mortality showed a downward trend in men (129,0 to 119,3) and in women (129.0 to 110.0), the main causes of death was ischemic diseases of heart, followed by cerebrovascular diseases. In general, the risk of CVD mortality was higher in the less economically and socially disadvantaged municipalities.
