Abstract

Objective

To analyse the trend in life expectancy (LE), healthy life expectancy (HLE) and socio-economic inequalities by neighbourhood in Barcelona from the pre-pandemic period (2018-2019) to the pandemic period (2020-2021).

Method

LE and HLE at birth were computed using the municipal register of inhabitants and quality of life (EuroQol) from the Barcelona Health Survey of 2016. Inequalities were assessed with the gap between quantiles of neighbourhood income.

Results

In 2020, there was a reduction in LE among men (−1.98 years) and women (−2.44) and in HLE among men (−1.44). Socio-economic inequalities in LE and HLE between neighbourhoods widened since 2019 to 2021 (LE: from 3.92 to 4.86 years for men, and from 1.30 to 3.60 for women; HLE: from 6.88 to 7.70 years for men, and from 7.85 to 9.31 for women).

Conclusions

The pandemic has substantially reduced LE and HLE, with larger effects among low-income neighbourhoods, especially among women.

2019冠状病毒病流行期间，巴塞罗那按社区划分的(健康)预期寿命趋势和不平等现象

目的分析从疫情前（2018-2019）到疫情期间（2020-2021）巴塞罗那各社区的预期寿命（LE）、健康预期寿命（HLE）和社会经济不平等的趋势。方法使用2016年巴塞罗那健康调查的城市居民和生活质量登记册（EuroQol）计算出生时的预期寿命和HLE。不平等是用邻里收入分位数之间的差距来评估的。结果2020年，男性（-1.98岁）和女性（-2.44岁）的LE和男性（-1.44岁）HLE有所下降。自2019年至2021年以来，社区之间LE和HLE的社会经济不平等加剧（LE：男性从3.92岁降至4.86岁，女性从1.30岁降至3.60岁；HLE：男性从6.88岁降至7.70岁，女性由7.85岁降至9.31岁）HLE，在低收入社区，特别是在妇女中影响更大。
