Table 1_Metropolitan inequalities in health system resources and COVID-19 adjusted life ex

2020 to 2023 ecological study analyzing inequities in healthcare resource distribution across metropolitan areas in Mexico in relation to life expectancy and COVID-19 adjusted life expectancy for adults aged 60–64. The dataset, authored by Héctor García-Hernández and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license, likely contains indicators calculated from abridged life tables and the Sullivan method, alongside healthcare resource variables. The file is a 40.9 KB DOCX document.

Use Cases

• Quantifying resource distribution inequities based on concentration and dissimilarity indices mentioned in the description
• Correlating health outcomes like life expectancy with healthcare resource availability across metropolitan areas
• Modeling the impact of specialized services and technological equipment on pandemic-adjusted mortality
• Informing policy for territorial redistribution of health personnel and resources for future emergencies

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific, vulnerable demographic (adults aged 60–64) during the COVID-19 pandemic
• Employs established public health metrics (abridged life tables, Sullivan method, concentration index)
• Clear temporal coverage from 2020 to 2023
• Openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is very small (40.9 KB), suggesting limited scope or summary-level data
