Objective:
to describe the existing patterns of mortality in Peru, at the national and regional level. Materials andmethods:
a secondary analysis using national death records from 2003 to 2016 was conducted. The Global Burden of Disease 20017 approach was utilized to group underlying causes of death into five groups non-communicable diseases, infectious diseases, maternal and neonatal, nutritional, and injury deaths. The Mann-Kendall tau test was used to assess trends and changes of causes of death over time.Results:
between 2003 and 2016, a total of 1'295,290 deaths at the national level were recorded, but only 698,037 records were analyzed. For 2003, 63.9% of deaths were attributed to non-communicable diseases, whereas 16.9% were due to infectious diseases, and 8.8% for injuries. For 2016, 83.6% of deaths were attributed to non-communicable diseases (p-value for trends < 0.001), whilst 8.6% of deaths were due to infectious diseases (p-value for trends < 0.001), and 5.4% were due to injuries (p-value for trends < 0.001). Similar results were obtained when analyses were conducted by sex and by regions.Conclusions:
from 2003 to 2016, the proportion of deaths attributable to non-communicable disease have increased in Peru. These findings were similar for both, males and females, and for the 25 regions in the country, where the non-communicable diseases are the first cause of death. (AU)
