Desigualdades socioterritoriales y defunciones por Covid-19 en la Ciudad de México.

Objective. Estimate the risk of death from SARS-CoV-2 as a function of socio-territorial inequalities in Mexico City during February 2020-June 2022. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of death from SARS-CoV-2 by residential neighborhoods, in Mexico City. The Social Development Index (SDI [Consejo de Evaluación de la Ciudad de México, in Spanish]) classifies residential neighborhoods as very low, low, medium, high, and very high social development level, respectively. Results. Deaths in neighborhoods with Very Low and Low SDI represented almost half of the deaths due to SARS-CoV-2. The population residing in the territories with the worst socio-territorial conditions died, on average, 10 years younger than that of the stratum with the best SDI. Conclusions. Differences in the risk of dying from SARS-CoV-2 were associated with the socio-territorial conditions. The risk of death was higher for people residing in neighborhoods with very low and low SDI. These differences were reduced starting with the third wave, possibly because of mass vaccination in Mexico City. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
