This paper aimed to explain why more women died in the earthquake of September 19, 2017, in Mexico City. We adopted a mixed quantitative-qualitative method, with epidemiological and statistical data and a hemerographic review about the influence of gender on earthquake-derived mortality. In the quantitative part, the results show that the difference in deaths among women compared to those among men cannot be attributed to population distribution or randomization issues. In the qualitative part, the results show that many data are evidencing that gender is an essential social determinant that can explain why more women die than men after an earthquake. Therefore, we recommend that these data be considered responsibly to improve future prevention and intervention actions.
本文旨在解释为何在 2017 年墨西哥城 9 月 19 日的地震中，女性的死亡人数更多。我们采用了混合的定量-定性方法，结合流行病学和统计数据以及关于性别对地震导致死亡率影响的时相学回顾。在定量部分，结果表明，女性与男性之间的死亡差异不能归因于人口分布或随机化问题。在定性部分，结果表明，许多数据表明，性别是一个重要的社会决定因素，可以解释为什么地震后女性的死亡人数多于男性。因此，我们建议负责任地考虑这些数据，以改进未来的预防和干预行动。
