CHUMBI SIGCHO, Franz; ROMAN COLLAZO, Carlos; MORENO BRAVO, Juan e VELECELA CHUMBI, Jessica. Factors associated with infection and death from Covid-19, an ecological analysis. Vive Rev. Salud [online]. 2021, vol.4, n.12, pp.250-262. ISSN 2664-3243. https://doi.org/10.33996/revistavive.v4i12.124.
The SARS-CoV-2 and Covid-19 pandemic has been a threat to life across the planet. The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with Covid-19 infection and mortality at a global level. An ecological analysis of the associated factors was carried out in 91 countries belonging to the five continents of the planet. The data were taken from the open access database created by the Our World in Data organization attached to the University of Oxford for three dates June 30 and November 30, 2020 as well as June 4, 2021. They were analyzed 11 predictor variables for Covid 19 infection and death by correlation and multiple linear regression in the SPSS 25.0 program. There was a correlation of 7 variables; however, only some have explanatory power. The models for the three dates were different. The fraction of adults older than 65 years or more was the only variable that explains the infections by country in the three dates studied. The deaths were explained by the HDI in June 2020, the proportion of adults over 65 years in the month of November 2020 and June 2021. The fraction of women smokers was also explanatory in June of. The research findings corroborate and contradict previous research showing the heterogeneity and complexity in the interaction of health determinants in the field of the Covid-19 pandemic.
