Background: The Human Development Index (HDI), uses three dimensions of development such as life expectancy, access to education and income level. It has been seen worldwide that socioeconomically vulnerable groups are the least protected and face the highest risk of COVID-19. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between HDI, GINI inequality index and COVID-19 case fatality rate in American countries. Study: An ecological observational study was developed, using COVID-19 metrics from Latin American countries. The outcome variable was COVID-19 case fatality rate, and the exposure variables were HDI, GINI, life expectancy, years of schooling, proportion of people over 60 years of age and GDP per capita. Once the data were collected, analyses were performed. We used the spearman correlation method, with a significance level of 95%. Findings: Twenty-four Latin American countries were evaluated, finding a COVID 19 case fatality rate with a median of 2.41 and with 1.55 and 3.04 as 25th and 75th percentile respectively, obtaining also with extreme values Ecuador, Mexico and Peru with 6.41, 7.57 and 9.12 respectively. When evaluating the correlation of the COVID 19 case fatality rate, a weak negative linear correlation was found between HDI, schooling index and life expectancy with rho= -0.253, -0.342 and -0.342 respectively, however, statistical significance was not found (p-value >0.05). Conclusions: It was found among Latin American countries that there is a weak negative linear correlation between COVID 19 case fatality rate and HDI, schooling index and life expectancy.

Introducción: El Índice de Desarrollo Humano (IDH), usa tres dimensiones de desarrollo como esperanza de vida, acceso a educación y el nivel de ingresos. Se ha visto a nivel mundial que los grupos socioeconómicamente vulnerables son los menos protegidos y enfrentan el mayor riesgo de COVID-19. Este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la correlación entre IDH, índice de inequidad GINI con la tasa de letalidad por COVID-19 en países de América. El estudio: Se desarrolló un estudio observacional ecológico, utilizando las métricas de COVID 19 de países de latino américa. La variable desenlace fue tasa de letalidad por COVID-19, y las variables exposición fueron IDH, GINI, esperanza de vida, años de escolaridad, proporción de mayores de 60 años y PBI per cápita. Recopilado los datos se hicieron análisis. Usamos el método de correlación de spearman, con un nivel de significancia de 95%. Hallazgos: Se evaluaron a 24 países de América Latina, encontrándose una tasa de letalidad por COVID 19 con una mediana de 2.41 y con 1.55 y 3.04 como percentil 25 y 75 respectivamente, obteniéndose además con valores extremos a Ecuador, México y Perú con 6.41, 7.57 y 9.12 respectivamente. Al evaluar la correlación de la tasa de letalidad por COVID 19 se encontró correlación lineal negativa débil entre el IDH, índice de escolaridad y esperanza de vida con rho= -0.253, -0.342 y -0.342 respectivamente, sin embargo no se encontró significancia estadística (Valor p >0.05). Conclusiones: Se encontró entre los países de latino américa que existe correlación lineal negativa débil entre la tasa de letalidad por COVID 19 y IDH, índice de escolaridad y esperanza de vida.
