ABSTRACT
Objectives. To determine the life expectancy and the lost years of life in population over 40, with Diabetes mellitus (DM) and arterial Hypertension (HTA) in the state of Jalisco for 2002.
Material and Methods. Cross sectional, exploratory, and comparative study. Official data for mortality and prevalence of DM and HTA in a population of people over 40. Life expectancy was estimated by means of the of Reed Merrel method. The lost years of life were also calculated.
Results. Life expectancy in patients of the group of 40 to 45 years, with DM was 43.07 years and in patients with HTA, 45.90. Lost years of life for both gender, in Jalisco for 2002: for diabetes, 29,512, and for hypertension, 2,314.9.
Conclusions. The expectancy of life, calculated by the Reed Merrel method is useful as an indicator and as an estimate for patients over 40 years with DM and HTA. The work reflects problems related to the registration of mortality and morbidity in chronic illnesses, as well as the impact of the lost years of life due to DM and HTA.
