“…Osler et al (26) observed that, even after adjustment for variables such as birth weight and cognitive function, the inverse association between father's social class at the time of the infant's birth and mortality among young adult men (15 to 34 years) was slightly attenuated but continued to be present. In the 15-to 19-year subgroup, the deaths predominated among boys; 87% were due to external causes, with 70.4% being due to violence, in agreement with other studies (33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38). Starting in the 1960 decade, in Brazil infectious and parasitic diseases gave way to external causes represented by traffic accidents and homicides as the main cause of mortality in some age ranges.…”

“…Varias de las regiones, por su parte, también rebasan esas cifras. De igual forma, la tasa de Jalisco -y la de buena parte de sus regiones -es notoriamente mayor que las tasas que exhiben Costa Rica y Chile en años recientes, y solo es inferior a las tasas que presentan algunas de las ciudades más violentas de Latinoamérica y del mundo como Cali, Río de Janeiro, Caracas, San Salvador o São Paulo (Barata et al, 1999;Cruz, 1999;Oviedo & Rodríguez, 1999).…”

“…Indudablemente, la distribución inequitativa de la riqueza, así como las condiciones asociadas a la pobreza en estas regiones (carencia de servicios básicos, bajos niveles de escolaridad, la falta de empleo estable y los bajos salarios, discriminación y marginación social o desintegración familiar, entre otros) son posibles generadores de conductas violentas, que pueden llegar al homicidio (Barata et al, 1999). Aún cuando ciertamente todavía no ha sido claramente dilucidado cómo la pobreza, la desigualdad ante el ingreso y la injusticia social afectan las percepciones, motivos y acciones en el nivel individual, algunos autores señalan que estos factores no solamente llevan implíci-to una mayor carga de stress adaptativo para los individuos, sino que también pueden inspirar el empleo de tácticas de "alto riesgo" -en otras palabras, el uso de métodos violentospara tener éxito en la competencia social (Daly & Wilson, 1990, 1997Wilson & Daly, 1985).…”
