Mexico is one of the countries most affected by the COVID-19 disease. Although there is vast information on the disease, there still are unknown data on the societal and economic cost of the pandemic. To estimate this impact, the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) can be a useful tool. To assess the DALYs due to COVID-19 in Mexico. We used the data released by the Mexican Ministry of Health to estimate the DALYs by the sum of the years of life lived with disability (YLDs) and the years of life lost (YLLs). A total of 1,152,885 confirmed cases and 324,570 suspected cases of COVID-19 have been registered. Half of the cases were men, with a median age of 43.4 ± 16.9 years. About 8.3% died. A total of 39,202 YLDs were attributable to COVID-19. The total YLLs caused by COVID-19 were 2,126,222. A total of 2,165,424.5 DALYs for COVID-19 were estimated. The total DALYs were the highest in people between 50 and 59 years. The DALYs for each COVID-19 case were the highest in individuals between 60 and 79 years. The DALYs generated by the COVID-19 represent a more significant disease burden than that reported for other causes, such as the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. Although it impacts all age groups in terms of disability, the most affected group are people over 50 years of age, whose risk of death is higher.
墨西哥是受 COVID-19 疾病影响最严重的国家之一。尽管有大量关于该疾病的信息，但仍有关于大流行的社会和经济成本的未知数据。为了估计这种影响，可以使用残疾调整生命年（DALYs）作为一种有用的工具。
为了评估 COVID-19 在墨西哥造成的 DALYs，我们使用墨西哥卫生部发布的数据，通过将残疾生活年（YLDs）和损失的生命年（YLLs）相加来估计 DALYs。已登记的确诊 COVID-19 病例共 1,152,885 例，疑似病例 324,570 例。其中一半为男性，中位年龄为 43.4 ± 16.9 岁。约有 8.3%的患者死亡。共有 39,202 例归因于 COVID-19 的 YLDs。COVID-19 造成的总 YLLs 为 2,126,222。共估计 COVID-19 的 DALYs 为 2,165,424.5。50 至 59 岁人群的总 DALYs 最高。每个 COVID-19 病例的 DALYs 最高，在 60 至 79 岁的个体中。COVID-19 造成的 DALYs 比其他疾病（如 2009 年 H1N1 流感大流行）报告的疾病负担更重。虽然 COVID-19 对所有年龄段的人都有残疾影响，但受影响最大的群体是 50 岁以上的人群，他们的死亡风险更高。
