Resumen
CORTES, Ariel E.; GARCIA-UBAQUE, Juan C. y BECERRA, Carmen E.. Behavior by sex and gender of the COVID-19 pandemic in Colombia. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.6, pp.575-581. Epub 03-Ene-2022. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v22n6.88913.
Objective
To determine the importance of mainstreaming from the perspective of sex-gender and age to recognize the differences and their inequality in the current situation of COVID-19.
Materials and Methods
Quantitative, exploratory, non-experimental, cross-sectional approach. Polynomial regressions were determined that better explain the current trends for sex-gender and age, the corresponding R2 was calculated.
Results
The trends of confirmed contagion cases are very similar between men and women. In deaths there is a greater relationship between men than women. Regarding age, there are differences in confirmed cases concentrated between 21 and 60 years and in those who died in those over 50 years of age.
Conclusions
The COVID-19 pandemic affects both sexes. However, the number of death men is higher than that of women. Regarding age, contagion is concentrated between 21 and 60 years, mortality in over 50 years. The information provided by the National Institute of Health of Colombia is limited, but it has good characteristics in age groups, although improvements can be made based on sex-gender in terms of race, health personnel, the military, and the policemen infected by COVID-19.
