Abstract

Este documento estima la reducción de la esperanza de vida al nacer y la pérdida de años de vida productivos, debido a las principales causas de muertes en Colombia. Asimismo, se calculó la probabilidad de muerte por causas y cuando se alcanzan ciertos grupos de edad. Estos ejercicios fueron basados en tablas de vida con múltiples causas de salida y utilizando escenarios hipotéticos de eliminación de causas de muertes. Se encontró que entre 1990 y 2012 se han experimentado notables cambios en el perfil epidemiológico, así como el aumento de la esperanza de vida, esta presenta un rezago de veinte años en comparación con países más desarrollados. En los últimos años, las enfermedades del sistema circulatorio se han convertido en el mayor factor explicativo de la reducción de la esperanza de vida al nacer. En los hombres, cobra importancia los homicidios y otras causas externas, las cuales son el principal factor de riesgo de muerte en las edades más productivas.
