Poisoning remains a major worldwide public health problem. Mortality varies by country, region and ethnicity. The objective of this study is to analyze recent trends in poisoning mortality in the Mexican population.
Data regarding mortality induced by poisoning was obtained from a publicly available national database maintained by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography.
During the period from 2000 to 2012, average mortality rates for unintentional and self-poisoning were 1.09 and 0.41 per 100000 population, respectively. The highest mortality rate for unintentional poisoning was in older individuals of both genders while the highest mortality for self-poisoning was in older men and young women. Additional studies are needed in Mexico, especially those that analyze risk factors in older individuals and young women.
中毒仍然是一个全球性的重大公共卫生问题。死亡率因国家、地区和种族而异。本研究的目的是分析墨西哥人群中毒死亡率的近期趋势。
有关中毒所致死亡率的数据来自国家统计和地理研究所维护的一个公开的国家数据库。
在2000年至2012年期间,意外中毒和自我中毒的平均死亡率分别为每10万人口1.09例和0.41例。意外中毒死亡率最高的是老年男性和女性,而自我中毒死亡率最高的是老年男性和年轻女性。墨西哥还需要进行更多研究,特别是那些分析老年人和年轻女性风险因素的研究。
