Índice de Desenvolvimento em Saúde: conceituação e reflexões sobre sua necessidade

Abstract: This article aimed to review the concept of social indices by focusing on their practical use and need in the health setting. For this purpose, the initial consideration was how these indices are defined, their possible use, and the importance they have as a means of depicting the real world.

“…The positive spatial correlations found between the coefficient of incidence of Covid-19 and the social development measured by the HDI-M, even if weak, are unprecedented in Brazil, which can also be a limiting factor considering the comparison with only a few initial studies about the approached theme. In general, epidemiological studies of communicable diseases find an indirect indicator for health in HDI-M, since its highest constitutive values are related to longevity, income and education 21 .…”

“…The countries with the highest number of cases are the United States (USA), India, and Brazil, respectively, and in number of deaths, USA, Brazil, and India. The worldwide mortality rate is estimated at 3.4%, but it has regional differences, being higher in Mexico (9.9%), Iran (5.7%) and Italy (5.0%), and lower in countries such as Singapore (tending to 0%), Sri Lanka (0.2%) and Qatar (0.2%), countries with different regional characteristics and different human development indices (HDI) [2,3].…”
