BACKGROUND: The need to integrate economic and epidemiological aspects in the clinical perspective leads to a proposal for the analysis of health disparities and to an evaluation of the health services and of the new challenges which are now being faced by health system reforms in middle income countries. OBJECTIVE: To identify the epidemiological changes, the demand for health services and economic burden from @entity102 ( @entity6 and @entity101 ) in a middle income county. METHODS: We conducted longitudinal analyses of costs and epidemiological changes for @entity6 and @entity101 in the Mexican health system. The study population included both the insured and uninsured populations. The cost-evaluation method was used, based on the instrumentation and consensus techniques. To estimate the epidemiological changes and financial consequences for 2014-2016, six models were constructed according to the Box-Jenkins technique, using confidence intervals of 95%, and the Box-Pierce test. RESULTS: Regarding epidemiological changes expected in both diseases for 2014 vs. 2016, an increase is expected, although results predict a greater increase for @entity6 , 8-12% in all three studied institutions, (p < .05). Indeed, in the case of @entity6 , the increase was 41469 cases for uninsured population (SSA) and 65737 for the insured population (IMSS and ISSSTE). On @entity101 cases the increase was 38109 for uninsured vs 62895 for insured. Costs in US  ranged from  699 to  748 for annual case management per @entity1 in the case of @entity6 , and from  485 to  622 in @entity1 with @entity101 . Comparing financial consequences of health services required by insured and uninsured populations, the greater increase (23%) will be for the insured population (p < .05). The financial requirements of both diseases will amount to 19.5% of the total budget for the uninsured and 12.5% for the insured population. CONCLUSIONS: If the risk factors and the different health care models remain as they currently are, the economic impact of expected epidemiological changes on the social security system will be particularly strong. Another relevant challenge is the appearance of internal competition in the use and allocation of financial resources with programs for other chronic and @entity166 .
