GARCIA-GONZALEZ, Juan Manuel y GRANDE, Rafael. Contributions of change in mortality by HIV/AIDS to Spanish life expectancy. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2020, vol.62, n.2, pp.211-214. Epub 28-Feb-2022. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/10625.
Objective:
To measure the effect of the change in mortality by AIDS in life expectancy at birth of Spanish population in 1985-2017.
Materials and methods:
We analyzed 56 863 deaths by AIDS. We calculated age-standardized death rates, and we applied Poisson regression and decomposition of life expectancies.
Results:
From 1985 to 1995, mortality by AIDS contributed to reduce life expectancy at birth of 0.64 years for men, and 0.17 for women; in 1996-2017, increase it by 0.60 years, men, and 0.17, women.
Conclusion:
The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy in 1996 and prevention were decisive to reduce mortality by AIDS and to become chronic the epidemic.
