@entity1 @entity204 @entity600
OBJECTIVE: To analyze mortality due to @entity600 from 1998-2006. To select municipalities with high mortality among @entity1 under 5 years of age. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The source of information was mortality records from vital statistics collected by SSA/INEGI. We used the 2005 Municipal Geostatistical Framework by INEGI and SIGEPI for the spatial analysis. The selection criteria were municipalities with 80% and over of @entity204 due to @entity600 . RESULTS: Deaths diminished 8% during 1998-2006 and rates decreased 20%. A total of 42.57% - 48% of @entity204 are due to circulatory system defects and 13.69% - 19.39% are due to the nervous system; the former rose 4% and the latter fell 32%. Eighty percent or more occur in @entity1 under 5 years and the rate in this group fell 8.63%. A total of 1 025 (41.82%) municipalities are priorities, 104 (10.14%) are high and 102 (9.95%) are very high priorities, where 66% of @entity204 occur among @entity1 under 5 years old. DISCUSSION: The interventions to decrease mortality due to @entity600 should be directed towards one-year-old @entity1 (75%) and towards 8.4% of the municipalities that are a very high priority, since they represent 66% of the @entity204 .
