Abstract
In December 2019, China announced a SARS CoV-2 virus in the Wuhan market, later announced by the WHO as the COVID-19 pandemic with a global impact on public health. The aim of this review was focused on determining if there are disparities in the impact of COVID-19 associated with the average salary.
Methodology: A documentary review of information detected in the network [Data México] among other sources was carried out, using the keywords; covid-19 pandemic, confirmed cases of covid-19, socioeconomic status and covid-19, socioeconomic disparity and covid-19 as well as cross-checking of confirmed cases of COVID-19, the number of deaths from this cause and salary average of each of the federative entities. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS-Ver 23.
The results denote marked socioeconomic disparities, the impact of covid-19 does not reside in the biology of the virus, but in particularities of the patient, social environment, and other predictors such as marginalization and comorbidities.
Conclusion: Economic disparities, municipal marginalization constitute a predictor of presenting severe forms of COVID-19, an independent association of other predictors such as age and cardio-metabolic comorbidities.
Keywords: Socioeconomic status and covid-19, confirmed cases of covid-19, economic disparity and covid-19, covid-19 pandemic
