Abstract

Gustavo Gomez Barbieri* and Francisco Bustamante

Background: The use of lead is millennial. However, the use of lead prevents the Romans and Etruscans for the design and construction of hydraulics and public works such as aqueducts, construction bases and even to sweeten wines. Understanding how lead production has affected the incidence and mortality of Cardiovascular Diseases is critical in the design of public policies in developing countries. OBJECTIVES: this study is aimed to determine the levels of exposure to Lead and Contaminant Gases of the inhabitants of Cerrillos and Independencia township and Analyze the incidence and deaths due to Cancer and cardiovascular diseases in the period 1997-2017.

Design, Setting, and Participants: Deaths for cancer (1997-2017) and cardiovascular and neurological disease attribuible second (2017) were recorded by WHO database and SINCA levels of polluted gasses. National incidence and mortality data were compared during the overlapping period (1997-2017).

Results: A total of 21518 Deaths calculated were explained by Lead Exposure, from this, by IAM 5514 people died, by stroke ACV died 5458 people, by arterial hipertension died 5316 people and 5230 people died because of other cardiac diseases. From the results, a statistically significant relationship was shown in MP-10, MP-2.5 and Lead in Independencia, while in Cerrillos a statistically significant relationship was observed between MP-10, MP-2.5 and NO2.

Conclusions: This epidemiological analysis of deaths encoded as Cancers and Cardiovascular diseases suggests carefully investigating space-temporal distribution before including them could be neurological diseases. Some new lights have been thrown on the statistical behavior of cancer mortality.
