- Incidence and lethality by COVID-19 in the population of the Federal District: an ecological study Jackson Gois Teixeira Antonio Carlos dos Santos Salud 19 COVID Incidence Lethality Per Capita Income Background and objectives: understanding the social situation of COVID-19 in poor and less developed countries is still doubtful. Thus, this study aimed to estimate the incidence and lethality by COVID-19, according to the per capita income of the administrative regions of the Federal District (FD). Methods: this is a descriptive ecological study, based on secondary data. Thirty-one administrative regions of the FD were included, and the population consisted of 382,488 individuals. The variables considered were sex, incidence, mortality, lethality, age group, population estimate and education. Results: despite the greater contamination by women, in terms of total mortality, more men died, representing 57.3% of the total deaths in the period. Regarding the influence of the level of education and income on the incidence, it appears that the highest rates of confirmed cases occurred in groups with higher levels of education and income. Despite this higher incidence, it is the group that exhibits the lowest lethality and the third lowest mortality per 100,000 inhabitants. Conclusion: the highest incidence rates were observed in regions with higher per capita income. On the other hand, lethality occurred more incisively in regions with lower purchasing power. In view of this, it is necessary to apply long-term preventive measures in unequal regions. 2022 artículo científico 2238-3360 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=570474761004 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570474761004/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570474761004/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570474761004/570474761004.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570474761004/movil https://doi.org/10.17058/reci.v12i3.17202 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5704 Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção application/pdf Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.12
