To provide a comprehensive analysis of mortality trends from acute pesticide poisoning in Mexico from 2000 through 2021.
The governmental records of deaths from acute pesticide poisoning were used. The age-standardized years of life lost and aged-standardized mortality rates were estimated. Significant changes in trends of annual percentage change were identified using Joinpoint regression.
Between 2000 and 2021, mortality was primarily observed in individuals aged 15 to 19 years. Males were the most affected. Self-inflicted pesticide poisoning was the primary registered reason for death. The age-standardized mortality rate from acute pesticide poisoning was reduced from 2012 to 2021 (APC: -4.4; p=0.003).
This report is the first study about the mortality rate from acute pesticide poisoning in Mexico. The results provided evidence to consider in developing laws to prevent acute pesticide poisoning.
对 2000 年至 2021 年墨西哥急性农药中毒死亡率趋势进行全面分析。
使用政府记录的急性农药中毒死亡数据。估计了年龄标准化生命损失年数和年龄标准化死亡率。使用 Joinpoint 回归识别趋势年度百分比变化的显著变化。
2000 年至 2021 年期间,死亡率主要发生在 15 至 19 岁的人群中。男性受影响最大。自我服毒是死亡的主要登记原因。2012 年至 2021 年期间,急性农药中毒的年龄标准化死亡率下降(APC:-4.4;p=0.003)。
这是墨西哥急性农药中毒死亡率的首份研究报告。结果为制定预防急性农药中毒的法律提供了依据。
