To document the existence of an epidemiologic and a health care transition in Mexico, diabetes mellitus (DM) mortality was analyzed. Age and sex adjusted mortality rates were estimated for each one of the states of Mexico, as well as the mean age at death, the number of years of potential life lost, and their percent distribution. The geographic distribution of these variables was plotted in maps according to tertiles or quartiles. The proportion of deaths due to acute and chronic complications of DM was classified according to community size. Polarized patterns of DM mortality as well as in the percentage contribution of deaths due to its acute and chronic complications were observed, in agreement with the postulated transitional process.
为记录墨西哥流行病学和医疗保健转型的存在情况，对糖尿病（DM）死亡率进行了分析。估算了墨西哥各州年龄和性别调整后的死亡率，以及平均死亡年龄、潜在寿命损失年数及其百分比分布。这些变量的地理分布根据三分位数或四分位数绘制在地图上。糖尿病急性和慢性并发症所致死亡比例根据社区规模进行分类。观察到糖尿病死亡率以及糖尿病急性和慢性并发症所致死亡贡献百分比的两极分化模式，这与假定的转型过程一致。
