Abstract

Introduction: A health condition of great impact on life expectancy in different populations and countries has been the Covid-19 pandemic. Objective: To calculate life expectancy comparing 2019 with 2020 and analyzed its relationship with indicators of the marginalization at the municipal level for the state of Coahuila in the context of Covid-19 pandemic. Material and method: Life expectancy was calculated using mortality data for 2019 and 2020 from the Ministry of Health and demographic and marginalization indicators were obtained from the National Population Council. The Shapiro-Wilk test was applied to the variables under study and those that has a normal distribution where analyzed with variance hypothesis test (ANOVA), followed by the Bonferroni post-hoc test. Variables that where found to be significant in the ANOVA test where subjected to a multiple regression to identify predictors. Kruskal-Wallis and Games Howell tests were performed with variables that did not have a normal distribution. Results: Variables that showed a positive and significant directionality were the percentage of population greater than 5 000 inhabitants and the natural logarithm of the population size of the municipalities. This latter variable was the only predictor of the loss in years of life expectancy. Conclusion: The natural logarithm of population size was the only predictor of the drop in years of life expectancy.
