Abstract

Este estudio examina la desigualdad en salud en América Latina y el Caribe (LAC). En primer lugar, se describe cómo las transformaciones demográficas han modificado la carga de enfermedad en los últimos 30 años. Inicialmente dominada por problemas maternos, neonatales y transmisibles, la región enfrenta ahora un aumento de enfermedades cardiovasculares, cánceres, diabetes y trastornos de salud mental. Luego se documentan las marcadas disparidades en salud por condición socioeconómica. Los hallazgos subrayan que las desigualdades de salud en la infancia y adolescencia son más críticas que en la adultez, con diferencias notables en salud infantil según la riqueza del país y en algunos resultados de salud en adultos.
