Health Information and Analysis
110th ANNIVERSARY
preface
On a yearly basis since 1995 the Regional Core Health Data Initiative of the Pan American
Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) presents the most recent
information on health indicators in the Region of the Americas.
On the 110th anniversary of PAHO/WHO, this publication highlights the mortality due to
external causes (EC); those causes of death different from natural causes and recognized as
avoidable such as suicides, homicides and accidents. From the data reported by the
countries, it is estimated that over 5.5 million people died from EC in the Region between
1999 and 2009. Three and a half million deaths (64%) occurred among the young and
adult population (10-49 years old) with an average of 319,000 deaths per year; 84% of
the deaths happened among males, five times more deaths among men than women. The
most frequent causes were homicides (33%) and land transport accidents (26%).
On the cover, we have included a map that shows the distribution of mortality from all EC of
the countries in the Region in 2008. Furthermore, based on the importance of the mortality
profile from EC, we have included a time series analysis from homicides and land transport
accidents by sex for eight subregions.
It is important to recognize the efforts that several countries are conducting by
implementing prevention programs on violence and injury, including the strengthening of
information systems to quantify the events. Given the complexity of determinants and the
role of different social sectors, it is fundamental that PAHO Member States continue their
work within the commitments that have been acquired through instruments such as the
PAHO Resolution CD 48/20 “Preventing Violence and Injuries and Promoting Safety: A Call
for Action in the Region", 2008, and the "Plan of Action for Road Safety", 2011.
The information presented in this brochure has been compiled, processed and reviewed by
PAHO/WHO technical staff in collaboration with staff from the ministries of health and the
planning and statistics offices in the Americas.

Mortality data from homicides1 and land transport accidents2 among those in ages 10 to 49 years during 1999 to 2009 in the Americas were used for
analysis. Within this population, nearly 1,153,800 and 925,700 people died from homicide and land transport accidents, respectively.
Throughout the Region, the age-adjusted mortality rates3 from homicides remained relatively stable, varying from 21.0 per 100,000 pop in 1999 to 22.2
per 100,000 pop in 2009. However, significant subregional differences were observed during the study period (Figure 1). The highest rates were found in
the Andean subregion, Brazil and Central America, with mean values of 56.4, 35.8, and 28.6 per 100,000 pop, respectively. In the Andean subregion,
rates experienced a decrease starting in 2002 influenced by the rates in Colombia. In contrast, Central America had an increase that started in 2003,
heavily influenced by El Salvador’s data. Noteworthy, rates in Mexico have risen sharply since 2008. On the other hand, North America and the Southern
Cone had the lowest and very similar rates of 8.0 and 7.9 per 100,000 pop, respectively. The relative risk of dying by subregion was estimated4 using the
Southern Cone homicide mortality rate as baseline. The likelihood of dying in the Andean subregion was 5.4 times greater with a 95% confidence interval
(95% CI) of 4.6 to 6.5, in Brazil of 4.7 (95% CI, 3.9-5.6) and in Central America 4.0 (95% CI, 3.3-4.8). Compared to women, men had an average
mortality risk 9.4 times higher in the Region (95% CI, 8.0-11.1). The age groups 20 to 29, 30 to 39, and 40 to 49 years had mortality rates with average
values of 37.5, 25.0, and 16.1 per 100,000 pop respectively, with a statistically significant higher risk than the group of 10 to 19 years (13.6 per
100,000 pop).
The highest age-adjusted mortality rates from land transport accidents (Figure 2) were observed in Brazil and the Andean subregion with mean values of
20.0 per 100,000 pop; in contrast, the lowest rates were found in the Latin Caribbean and the Southern Cone with mean values of 11.6 and 12.0 per
100,000 pop, respectively. Men showed higher death rates than women, with a risk 4.2 times higher (95% CI, 3.9-4.5). Mortality rates in the age groups
10 to 19, 20 to 29, 30 to 39, and 40 to 49 years had mean values of 11.9, 24.1, 19.6, and 19.3 per 100,000, respectively.
Mortality from land transport accidents and homicides might be associated5 with economic, educational, political, social, and cultural factors. Also, they
overburden the health care systems and pose a high cost on society, in addition to the suffering of the victims and their families6. In several countries of
the Region the proportion of population in productive ages regarding the number of the youngest and the oldest are increasing, favoring their economic
growth. The negative potential impact of these deaths over this “demographic bonus” is an important call to countries for action given the preventability
of these outcomes.
Notes and references:
1
Homicide = ICD-10: codes X85-Y09
2
Land Transport Accidents = ICD-10: codes V01-V89
3
Mortality rates may be underestimated due to data quality problems such as the proportion of deaths that have not been registered and the proportion of violent deaths
and accidental deaths of unknown intention.
4
Based on Negative Binominal Regression Model that allows the estimation while accounting for the variation within the subregions.

technical notes & sources
Technical notes:
Maternal mortality ratio, infant mortality rate, and under 5 mortality (BI
10, 12, 13) are reported by countries; an increase may reflect an
improvement in data coverage and quality.
Certified deaths due to ill-defined and unknown conditions (BI 16) refer
to death certificates issued in a given year for which the underlying cause
of death was symptoms, signs, and other ill-defined and unknown
conditions (ICD-10: R00-R99).
Mortality under-registration (BI 17) is determined by subtracting from 1
the total deaths registered in a country-period divided by the corresponding total estimated deaths, obtained after applying the UN estimated
crude death rates to the corresponding population estimates by the UN.
Corrected mortality rates (BI 18–BI 28) are computed based on registered
mortality data, applying a correction algorithm for mortality underregistration and a redistribution algorithm for deaths from ill-defined
causes. The methodology used is presented in Health Statistics from the
Americas, 2006 edition (http://www.paho.org/HSA2006). Observed
rates are presented for two groups of countries. For countries with high
quality data (proportion of under-registration and ill-defined causes of
death under 10%) and for countries without inputs for correction. Ageadjusted mortality rates are computed by direct standardization to the
WHO World Standard Population (http://www.who.int/healthinfo/paper31.pdf).
Malaria risk areas population (BI 31) shows the proportion of the total
population in a country living in high and moderate malaria transmission
risk areas. Moderate risk: API between 1 to 10/1,000 pop; high risk:
API > 10/1,000 pop.
National Health Expenditure (BI 42AB): Public expenditure (BI 42A)
corresponds to general government expenditure in the function ‘health’
(Division 07) of the Classification of the Functions of Government
(COFOG); Private expenditure (BI 42B) is based on the weight of ‘health’
in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of the country. For more information,
visit: www.paho.org/Spanish/DPM/SHD/HP/nhexp-metodos.htm.
Antenatal care visits by trained personnel (BI 43) refer to ‘four or more
visits’.
Two new countries are included, Curaçao and Sint Maarten (Dutch part);
the Netherlands Antilles have been removed.
The regional and subregional aggregates for rates, ratios and proportions
are weighted averages, and sums for absolute numbers.
