RESUMEN
Este artículo de Hugo Behm, escrito en 1979, realiza un análisis de los determinantes de la mortalidad en América Latina. Fue presentado, originalmente, en la reunión de Naciones Unidas/Organización Mundial de la Salud sobre "Determinantes socioeconómicos de la mortalidad y sus consecuencias" realizada en la Ciudad de México, entre el 19 y el 25 de junio de 1979, y publicado en la Revista Centroamericana de Ciencias de la Salud, No. 12, en 1979. Su reedición en la sección Textos Fundacionales apunta a honrar la memoria del autor y a recuperar un texto pionero en señalar cómo los diferenciales de mortalidad existentes entre países, al interior de los mismos y entre regiones, así como los diferenciales urbano-rural, se explican a partir de desigualdades sociales y económicas que son estructurales y actúan generando "excedentes" de mortalidad por etnia, por grupos de edades y por clases sociales.
ABSTRACT
This article by Hugo Behm, written in 1979, analyzes the determinants of mortality in Latin America. It was originally presented in the United Nations/World Health Organization meeting on the "Socio-Economic Determinants and Consequences of Mortality" held in Mexico City from June 19 to 25, 1979 and published in Revista Centroamericana de Ciencias de la Salud, No. 12, in 1979. This re-edition, as part of the section Foundational Texts, aims to honor the memory of the author and recover a text pioneering in its effort to demonstrate how the mortality differentials between countries and between different regions within the same country, as well as urban/rural differentials, can be explained by structural social and economic inequality which create mortality "excesses" by ethnicity, age group and social class.
