Abstract

Las principales causas de mortalidad en Colombia para 2010 responden al fenómeno de la transición epidemiológica. Entre estas se encuentran las neoplasias y las enfermedades isquémicas del corazón, por el lado de las enfermedades. Por el lado de las causas externas, las agresiones físicas y homicidios también tienen un gran impacto sobre la mortalidad del país, sobre todo para los hombres. Por regiones, las neoplasias son la principal causa de muerte para las mujeres en 30 de los 33 departamentos estudiados y para los hombres son los homicidios en 29 de 33 departamentos. También es importante señalar que en algunos departamentos de la región de la Amazonía las infecciones respiratorias agudas siguen siendo una de las tres principales causas de mortalidad. Este resultado pone en evidencia la pobreza y rezago económico y social que existe en estas zonas y la falta sistemática de políticas públicas enfocadas en combatir sus problemas específicos.
