AB OBJECTIVE. To estimate the cumulative number of years of potential
productive life lost (YPPLL) due to AIDS in Mexico, and its distribution
by occupation. METHODS. Sixty-five years was considered the upper limit
of potential productive life in men and 60 in women. The distribution of
AIDS cases by occupation was applied to the number of YPPLL. RESULTS.
The most affected age group due to AIDS mortality is men 25-34 years
old, its death rate varied from 1988 to 1992 from 3.2 to 12.9 per
100,000 person/year respectively. The average age for AIDS death
remained constant at 35 years old for both men and women. The total
number of YPPLL for men were 207,016 and for women 30,333. The
occupations with more YPPLL among men were: office workers with 32,709
YPPLL, civil servicemen with 29,603, businessmen and clerks 17596,
professionals 15122, blue collar workers 14905, and teachers 10765. For
women, the largest number of YPPLL was among housewives with 17654,
followed by office workers with 2,305. The number of AIDS cases is
over-represented (as well as YPPLL) in the category of professionals,
compared with the frequency of these trained personnel in the
population; the number of housewives with AIDS (58% of AIDS cases in
women) is slightly under the proportion of all adult women who reported
to be housewives in the 1990 population census. CONCLUSIONS. Because of
premature deaths AIDS has already had in Mexico a great economic and
social impact. As the epidemic continues, one might expect AIDS to be
one of the most important causes of YPPLL in our country.
