Abstract

The purpose is to analyze the level, trend and impact of external mortality in Colombia and Mexico from 1998 to 2015. The years of life loss of children under the age of 85 were calculated, and the trend was estimated by model regression analysis. These causes of death and age groups contribute to changes in life expectancy at birth. In Colombia, mortality from all analyzed external causes decreased significantly; in Mexico, the rising murder death rate and the rising suicide rate have reversed their downward trend. The mortality rate in Mexico is higher than that in Colombia, which clearly shows the different trends in the two countries.
