Accumulated years of potential productive lost and costs generated as a result of the state of disability in the Puebla state / Años acumulados de vida productiva potencial perdidos y costos generados a consecuencia de invalidez en el estado de Puebla

Resumen

Introduction: Background: Disability is the inability of the insured to perform an occupational activity due to a non-occupational illness or accident. Accumulated years of potentially lost productive life (AAVPPP) is an indicator based on the standard retirement age, which in Mexico is 65 years, and the age at the time of the disability determination. Method: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, and retrospective study conducted in Puebla during 2022 and 2023. The sample consisted of 522 final reports that met the inclusion criteria. Sociodemographic and occupational variables were collected, and the results were expressed using descriptive statistics. Results: Of the total sample, 376 (72%) were male and 146 (28%) were female. 227 reports corresponded to the 51-60 age group. Occupation was unspecified in 90 (17.2%), administrative activities in 74 (14.2%), and industrial machine operators in 56 (10.7%). The main diagnosis was non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with ophthalmic complications in 72 (13.8%), neurological pathologies in 59 (11.3%), and musculoskeletal pathologies in 51 (9.8%). 8,595 AAVPPP were lost, with a median of 14.00 years and an interquartile range of 12 years. The average monthly direct costs of the pension were $2,762,352 Mexican pesos. The cost for the 8,595 AAVPPP was $52,045,745.00 Mexican pesos. The group with the highest number of accumulated years of potential productive life lost was the 6 to 10-year-old group, with 113 rulings (21.6%), equivalent to $674,723 Mexican pesos per month. Conclusions: It was determined that there are 8,595 AAVPPP, which in turn increases the direct costs generated as a result of disability status in the State of Puebla during 2022 and 2023.
