Abstract

Existe amplia evidencia científica que vincula al tabaquismo con la mortalidad. Para estimar el costo de la mortalidad anual atribuible al tabaco (MAT) para adultos en Argentina se utilizaron datos de prevalencia de consumo de fumadores y ex fumadores (SEDRONAR 2004), riesgos relativos de muerte por las patologías relevantes (Cancer Prevention Study II), muertes por dichas enfermedades (MSAL 2004) y el valor de la consecuente productividad perdida (EPH 2004). Se concluye que en el 2003, se produjeron 41.280 MAT en Argentina en los mayores de 35 años (15 de cada 100 muertes de ese grupo de edad). El costo anual medido como pérdida de ingresos futuros por mortalidad prematura fue de 2.315 millones de pesos del año 2003, implicando esto 0,6% del PBI de ese año. También se encontraron diferencias en las MAT por causa de mortalidad por sexo y por edad. En la comparación con los resultados del año 2000, surge que aumentaron levemente las MAT (un 2,3%), principalmente inducidas por el aumento de las muertes por causas asociadas al tabaco y no tanto por los cambios en las tasas de prevalencia. Y, por otro lado, si bien aumentaron los costos económicos nominales en un 22,75%, en términos reales, éstos bajaron un 14,5%.
