title: [Influence of Instituto Mexicano de Seguro Social in the general mortality (1990-2005)].
abstract: The epidemiologic transition moves mortality towards the chronic diseases as the main causes and the elderly groups as their main targets. The Institute Mexican del Seguro Social (IMSS) contributes with 3 of every 10 deaths reported in the country. Mortality rates in men increased from 330.1 x 100,000 in 1990 to 485.4 in 2005. In women rates grew from 249.9 to 405.5 in the same period. Mortality patterns show a mayor contribution by the northern region and are different with regard to sex and age groups. The group under 20 years old have a lower contribution to mortality during the period studied. In the population insured by IMSS, the 60 to 79 age group in both sexes contributes with a major proportion of deaths.
