Pandemia da Covid-19 e população idosa no Brasil: anos de vida perdidos e efeitos na expectativa de vida. Orientador: Grasiela Piuvezam. 2022. 92f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Saúde Coletiva) - Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2022.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/49997The pandemic generated by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which began in December 2019, has been characterized by severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), among other relevant health problems. The objective of this research was to analyze the burden of the Covid19 pandemic on the elderly population in Brazil, by estimating the COVID-19 mortality curve for the year 2020, observing the years of life lost and effects on life expectancy. This is an ecological study of multiple groups, whose unit of analysis is composed of the municipalities in Brazil. The study population is people aged 60 years and over. Death data were extracted secondarily through the Mortality Information System (SIM). The results of the present study show that there are differences in mortality from Covid-19 between regions in Brazil. The most affected age group was 80 years and over. And the male sex having a higher occurrence of deaths. From the spatial statistics, the correlation between the Mortality Rate Standardized by Covid-19 and the socioeconomic variables of the study was verified: Income ratio of the richest 10%/poorest 40%, Gini index, Unemployment rate-18 years and more, % Density>2, Municipal Human Development Index, Dependency ratio, Aging rate, Illiteracy rate-25 years and more, % of vulnerable to poverty, Vulnerable household and elderly dependent, Vulnerable household and elderly. With regard to years of life lost, the Southeast and Northeast regions stood out with the highest absolute number of potential years lost. The estimates produced by the multiple decrement tables showed important changes in the specific mortality rates, in the probabilities of deaths, in the survival ratio and in life expectancy for all ages for both males and females if there were no records of deaths from COVID-19. As for the gains in years in life expectancy without COVID-19 deaths by region in 2020 in the country, this research showed that the greatest gains occurred for the North and Midwest regions, reaching more than 2 years in gains considering the no deaths from the disease. This study may support strategic planning/actions aimed at fighting Covid-19.Acesso AbertoCovid-19IdososExpectativa de vidaAnos de vida perdidosmasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::SAUDE COLETIVA
