Introduction:
The burden of disease measures the total impact of diseases on a population, considering incidence, prevalence, disability, and premature mortality. This study analyzes the burden of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in Tabasco, Mexico, from 2013 to 2021. Ischemic heart disease has a significant incidence of 21,203,479 cases worldwide, and nationally (inside Mexico) a total of 221,747 cases, with more than 9,137,791 deaths due to this pathology globally.
Objective:
To analyze the burden of ischemic heart disease in Tabasco, Mexico, during the 2013-2021 period.
Methods:
An observational, descriptive, longitudinal, and retrospective study was conducted in Tabasco. The study population consisted of 2,402,598 people according to INEGI, with a sample of 927,000 adults (462,000 men and 465,000 women). Data were used from the General Directorate of Health Information, IHME, and the World Bank. Analyses were performed in Microsoft Excel, calculating measures of central tendency, dispersion, and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs).
Results:
The DALYs in the adult population of Tabasco were: 2013-23,932; 2014-28,132; 2015-30,197; 2016-30,683; 2017-31,839; 2018-38,599; 2019-40,046; 2020-42,307; and 2021-55,723, totaling 297,576 DALYs from 2013 to 2021.
Discussion:
Ischemic heart disease increased in incidence and mortality in both men and women during the years analyzed. The increase in DALYs indicates a greater impact of ischemic heart disease in Tabasco compared to countries like Costa Rica.
Conclusion:
The burden of ischemic heart disease from 2013 to 2021 represents a significant loss of quality and years of life in the population of Tabasco, Mexico.
