Abstract

The epidemiologic transition moves mortality towards the chronic diseases as the main causes and the elderly groups as their main targets. The Institute Mexican del Seguro Social (IMSS) contributes with 3 of every 10 deaths reported in the country. Mortality rates in men increased from 330.1 x 100,000 in 1990 to 485.4 in 2005. In women rates grew from 249.9 to 405.5 in the same period. Mortality patterns show a mayor contribution by the northern region and are different with regard to sex and age groups. The group under 20 years old have a lower contribution to mortality during the period studied. In the population insured by IMSS, the 60 to 79 age group in both sexes contributes with a major proportion of deaths.
