| description | The problem of elder abuse or negligent behavior towards them has led to it being addressed in different human rights instruments; among them the Montevideo Consensus on Population and Development and the Inter-American Convention on the Protection of the Human Rights of Older Persons.
Taking into account this legal framework, and as a first step to address the problem of mortality as a consequence of abuse or negligent behavior towards older people in our country, the objective of this study is to analyze trends in mortality from external causes in older people (60 years and over) in Argentina between 2000 and 2014.
Mortality rates from these causes (per 100,000 inhabitants) were calculated among people aged 60 years and over, by sex, adjusted for age by the direct method, using the standard population of the World Health Organization. To explore trends in age-standardized mortality rates from external causes, we will use Jointpoint regression models. Joinpoint analyzes are performed using the Joinpoint Regression Program v. 4.0.4 from the US National Cancer Institute.
The results of this study are expected to establish a first visibility of the problem of external causes of death in this population group. |

El problema del maltrato de las personas mayores o del comportamiento negligente hacia ellos ha llevado que sea abordado en diferentes instrumentos de derechos humanos; entre ellos, el Consenso de Montevideo sobre Población y Desarrollo y la Convención Interamericana sobre la Protección de los Derechos Humanos de las Personas Mayores. Teniendo en cuenta este marco jurídico, y como primer paso para abordar la problemática de la mortalidad como consecuencia del maltrato o del comportamiento negligente hacia las personas mayores en nuestro país, el objetivo de este estudio es analizar las tendencias en la mortalidad por causas externas en personas mayores (60 años y más) en Argentina entre 2000 y 2014. Se calcularon tasas de mortalidad por estas causas (por 100.000 habitantes) entre personas de 60 años y más, por sexo, ajustadas por edad por el método directo, utilizando la población estándar de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Para explorar las tendencias en las tasas de mortalidad por causas externas estandarizadas por edad, utilizaremos modelos de regresión de Jointpoint. Los análisis de Joinpoint se realizan utilizando el Programa de Regresión de Joinpoint v. 4.0.4 del US National Cancer Institute. Se espera que los resultados de este estudio permitan establecer una primera visibilización de la problemática de las causas externas en este grupo poblacional.
