Heart disease, diabetes, and cancer are the leading causes of death in Tamaulipas - El Mercurio de Tamaulipas
An analysis of mortality statistics in Tamaulipas reveals that chronic-degenerative diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, account for the majority of deaths. This pattern reflects the predominant epidemiological burden in the state. Although there is an overall reduction in the number of deaths compared to the previous year, the high proportion of deaths due to these causes does not decrease proportionally. This suggests that the prevention and management of these conditions remain critical challenges for local public health. The relevance of this article to open data lies in the transparent access to the Registered Mortality Statistics from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI). This type of public information enables researchers, policymakers, and citizens to audit health trends, fostering accountability and evidence-based decision-making using verifiable and accessible data.
