Abstract
Fundamentos: Las demencias son una de las causas de mortalidad que más han aumentando en los último años en los países desarrollados. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la mortalidad por edad, sexo, estado civil, así como su evolución temporal en Andalucía en el periodo de 1999 al 2010. Métodos: Con las defunciones por demencias de los mayores de 59 años del Instituto de Estadística de Andalucía y las poblaciones correspondientes, se calcularon las tasas de mortalidad bruta, estandarizadas por edad y sexo, y específicas por edad; mediante regresión joinpoint se calculó los porcentajes anuales de cambio; y además con las estimaciones de las poblaciones por estado civil y sus defunciones calcularon las tasas brutas y estandarizadas por edad, sexo y estado civil. Resultados: Las tasas de mortalidad estandarizadas pasaron de 124,8 a 161,0 defunciones por 100.000 en las mujeres y de 110,3 a 147,7 en los hombres, el incremento anual fue del 4,2% y 3,8% en mujeres y hombres. Las mujeres murieron más que los hombres con una razón de tasas estandarizadas entre 1,08 y 1,29. Y, la edad fue la variable que más determinó la mortalidad. Conclusiones: La mortalidad por demencias en Andalucía ha experimentado un importante incremento en los últimos doce años y continuará aumentando, con el consiguiente impacto sanitario y social que tienen este grupo de enfermedades configurándose como un importante problema de salud.
BACKGROUND The dementias are a cause of mortality have increased over the last years. Therefore is important to analyze the variables more related to its development in Andalusia between 1999 and 2010. METHODS With the deaths of 60 and over by dementia from Andalusia Statistical Institute and the populations from corresponding years, are estimated crude mortality rates, standardized and age-specific; by joinpoint regression was calculated percentages annual change; and also, with the population estimates by marital status and deaths was calculated crude rates and standardized for age, sex and marital status. RESULTS The standardized mortality rates increased from 124.8 to 161.0 deaths per 100,000 in women and 110.3 to 147.7 in men, the annual increase was 4.2% and 3.8% in women and men. The women died more than men with a standardized rate ratio between 1.08 and 1.29. Age was the variable that determined mortality. CONCLUSIONS Mortality from dementia in Andalusia has increased over the past 12 years and will continue to increase with the consequent social and health impacts posed by these diseases, configured as a major health problem.
