The objective of this study was to analyze mortality due to the main external causes of death (traffic accidents, other accidents, homicides and suicides) in Mexico, calculating the years of life lost between 0 and 100 years of age and their contribution to the change in life expectancy between 2000 and 2013, at the national level, by sex and age group. Data came from mortality vital statistics of the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) [National Institute of Statistics and Geography]. The biggest impact in mortality due to external causes occurred in adolescent and adult males 15-49 years of age; mortality due to these causes remained constant in males and slightly decreased in females. Mortality due to traffic accidents and other accidents decreased, with a positive contribution to life expectancy, but this effect was canceled out by the increase in mortality due to homicides and suicides. Mortality due to external causes can be avoided through interventions, programs and prevention strategies as well as timely treatment. It is necessary to develop multidisciplinary studies on the dynamics of the factors associated with mortality due to these causes.
本研究的目的是分析墨西哥主要外部死因（交通事故、其他事故、凶杀和自杀）导致的死亡率，计算0至100岁之间的寿命损失年数及其对2000年至2013年全国预期寿命变化的贡献，按性别和年龄组划分。数据来自国家统计和地理研究所（INEGI）的死亡率生命统计数据。外部原因导致的死亡率的最大影响发生在15至49岁的青少年和成年男性中；这些原因导致的男性死亡率保持不变，女性死亡率略有下降。交通事故和其他事故导致的死亡率下降，对预期寿命有积极贡献，但这一效果被凶杀和自杀导致的死亡率上升所抵消。通过干预、项目和预防策略以及及时治疗，可以避免外部原因导致的死亡率。有必要开展多学科研究，探讨与这些原因导致的死亡率相关的因素的动态变化。
