Abstract

This article analyzes the change in life expectancy of the population of Medellín, Colombia, between 1989-91 and 1994-96 due to the six main causes of death, according to the ninth revision of the International Classi
fication of Diseases (ICD) coded with three digits: diabetes mellitus (ICD-250), acute myocardial infarction (ICD-410), obstructive chronic pulmonary disease (ICD-496), no specified vehicle accident (ICD-819), attack with fire weapons and explosives (ICD-965), and attack with cutting and stabbing weapons (ICD-966). The m
ethod achieved by J.H. Pollard in 1986 was used for calculations.The inhabitants of Medellín gained 1.93 life expectancy years from the first triennium to the second, and the profit was grater for men than for wom
en (2.42 and 1.09 years, respectively). When changes in life expectancy are discriminated by age groups and sex, the greatest profit concentrated in the older age groups (more than 54 years old) for women, and in the intermediate age groups (25 to 44 years old) for men. The greatest loss in life expectancy was observed in the 15-19 years group, equivalent to a 25%. By cause of death, the greatest loss in life expectancy was due
to diabetes mellitus (0,12 years), while by attack with fire weapons and explosives, 1.24 and 1.88 years to life expectancy were gained in the general population and in the male group respectively.
