Inegi: Covid "baja escalones"; es sexta causa de muerte en Puebla

The article reveals that chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes have surpassed coronavirus as the leading causes of death in Puebla and throughout Mexico during the first half of 2022. This shift indicates that, while the pandemic remains among the top five causes of mortality, it is no longer the primary driver of deaths compared to long-standing non-communicable diseases. The data highlight a persistent excess in national mortality rates, underscoring ongoing public health challenges beyond the acute crisis. In the context of open data, this report highlights the critical role of transparent and accessible statistical information from institutions such as INEGI. By publishing detailed data on death certificates and causes of death, these datasets enable researchers and policymakers to accurately track epidemiological trends. Open access to such statistics facilitates rigorous analysis of mortality patterns, supporting evidence-based interventions and a deeper understanding of the health landscape. Ultimately, the findings emphasize the importance of continuous monitoring through reliable data infrastructure. As chronic diseases remain the dominant threat, open data serves as a vital tool for identifying vulnerable populations and evaluating the effectiveness of healthcare strategies. This transparency supports informed decision-making, ensuring that resource allocation effectively addresses the most significant burdens on the population.
