Abstract

This study aims to analyze the coefficients of incidence and mortality by Covid-19 in elderly people in the state of São Paulo and the relationship with socioeconomic indicators. This is an ecological, analytical and observational study, with a quantitative method of investigation. In this study, all reported cases of Covid-19 in elderly people (over 60 years old) in all municipalities in São Paulo will be considered. The following were defined as dependent variables related to Covid-19 in elderly people: cumulative mortality coefficient in the elderly population, cumulative mortality coefficient per 100,000 people, and cumulative incidence coefficient per 100,000 people. The independent variables will be the human development index, aging index, income ratio and proportion of elderly people, education, family, and per capita income. Data related to Covid-19 will be collected through access to the Ministry of Health system, OpenDataSUS; and, the data referring to the independent variables will be obtained from the IBGE. The period will cover data from the registration of the first case of Covid-19 in Brazil on February 25, 2020, to February 25, 2022. The variables will be analyzed in a descriptive and bivariate way, using Spearman correlation analysis with a level of significance of 5%, in the R Studio Program. This research does not need to be evaluated by the Research Ethics Committee, as the data are available in digital media and with public access.(AU)
