La población afomexicana ha sido escasamente estudiada desde una perspectiva cuantitativa en relación con eventos en salud. Por ello, la mayoría de los estudios en esa línea han sido de corte etnográfico. El Censo de Población y Vivienda de 2020 en México proporcionó, por primera vez a nivel censal, información demográfica sobre la población afromexicana identificada bajo el principio de autoadscripción. El presente trabajo tuvo por objeto analizar el impacto de la esperanza de vida (EV) en población afromexicana controlando su efecto por el grado de marginación y población sin derecho a servicios de salud, en el contexto de la pandemia por Covid-19 en México durante 2020. La información sobre población afromexicana, mortalidad y población, se obtuvieron de fuentes oficiales. Se calculó la EV mediante el método actuarial estándar. La población afromexicana representó una fracción pequeña respecto al total de la población en México. Las mayores proporciones se concentran en las costas de Oaxaca y Guerreo, y en menor proporción en Veracruz y Yucatán. Esta población tendió a distribuirse en municipios de baja densidad por lo que estuvo sujeta a las limitaciones socioeconómicas y demográficas de las poblaciones rurales o semiurbanas. Estas características se reflejaron en un bajo impacto en la pérdida en años de la EV porque la dinámica de la pandemia por Covid-19 tendió a ser menor en poblaciones de menor tamaño. Dicho efecto no se dio por tratarse de población afromexicana per se, sino porque ésta comparte las características de las poblaciones rurales y semiurbanas de México.
The Afro-Mexican population has been little studied from a quantitative perspective in terms of health events, due to methodological difficulties in identifying them. As a result, most studies in this area have been ethnographic. The 2020 Census of Population and Housing in Mexico provided, for the first time, demographic information at the census level on the Afro-Mexican population, identified by the principle of self-identification. The objective of this paper is to analyse the impact of life expectancy (LE) on the Afro-Mexican population, controlling for the marginalisation index and the population without access to health services, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic in Mexico in 2020. Information on the Afro-Mexican population, mortality and population was obtained from official sources. LE were calculated using the standard actuarial method. The Afro-Mexican population represented a small proportion of the total population of Mexico. The largest proportions of this population were concentrated in the coastal states of Oaxaca and Guerrero, and to a lesser extent in Veracruz and Yucatan. This population tended to be distributed in low-density communities and was therefore subject to the socio-economic and demographic constraints of rural or semi-urban populations. These characteristics were reflected in a lower impact on losses in LE years, as the dynamics of the Covid-19 pandemic tended to be lower in low-density populations. This effect was not due to the African population per se, but because it shares the characteristics of the rural and semi-urban populations in Mexico.
