| Abstract (English): |
Objectives Measure health inequalities through 12 mortality indicators, using the human resource density of medical professionals (pmed) and nursing (penf), as a stratifier of equity in 32 american countries. Methods From 12 mortality indicators, stratified by density of pmed and penf, weighted rates, differences, correlation, simple and complex inequality indicators are calculated. Results Of 12 indicators, 9 show a higher rate in low density of both professions; 7 show significant differences. there is high variability in relative gaps (8.7 to 1.2); unequal concentration affecting vulnerable groups; and higher index of the slope in mortality: maternal, communicable diseases and diabetes. Conclusions The density of human resources shows high variability and concentration, with a heterogeneous ratio between both professions. When stratifying countries from Low to High density, inequalities and social gradient are evident in 9 of 12 indicators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Objetivos Medir desigualdades en salud mediante 12 indicadores de mortalidad, utilizando la densidad de recurso humano de profesionales de medicina (PMED) y enfermería (PENF) como estratificador de equidad en 32 países americanos. Métodos A partir de 12 indicadores de mortalidad, estratificados mediante densidad de PMED y PENF, se calculan tasas ponderadas, diferencias, correlación, indicadores simples y complejos de desigualdad. Resultados De 12 indicadores, 9 presentan mayor tasa en baja densidad de ambas profesiones y 7 presentan diferencias significativas. Hay alta variabilidad en brechas relativas (8,7 a 1,2); concentración desigual con afectación de grupos vulnerables; y mayor índice de la pendiente en mortalidad: materna, enfermedades transmisibles y diabetes. Conclusiones La densidad del recurso humano presenta alta variabilidad y concentración, con razón heterogénea entre ambas profesiones. Al estratificar países de baja a alta densidad, se evidencian desigualdades y gradiente social en 9 de 12 indicadores. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
