ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Relate gender inequalities with the probability of mortality from non-communicable diseases (NCD), in the countries of the world from the year 2000 to 2019, to detect the progress of Target 3.4 of the Sustainable Development Goal 3, to reduce NCD by one third between the ages of 30 and 70 by 2030.METHOD:
Exploratory ecological study on the association between the probability of death from NCD and the gender inequality index (GII) at the global level in 2000, 2015 and 2019. Logistic regression estimation of the risk of not being on track to meet Target 3.4 by 2019 by gender inequality.RESULTS:
The mean probability of death from NCD decreased progressively in all countries. Median 2000/2015/2019 women 20.20/16.58/16; men 26.59/22.45/21.88; total 23.14/20.10/19.23. The risk of not achieving the goal in 2019 is greater in countries with a lower GII than in countries with a higher GII (OR 2.13; 95% CI 1.14-3.99; p=0.018), being the higher risk in women (OR 2.64; 95% CI 1.40-5.06; p=0.003) than in men (OR 2.12; 95% CI 1.44-3.98; p=0.017).CONCLUSIONS:
The risk of deaths from NCD has decreased in both sexes in all countries of the world since the year 2000; but progress is slow, so the greater gender inequality in the countries, there is a greater risk of not achieving the reduction needed to comply with the agreement to reduce mortality from NCD by one third in 2030; this risk being greater in women than in men.
