Risk Factors Associated to Mortality in the Indigenous Population with COVID-19 in Mexico
Belonging to the Indigenous population is a significant risk factor for COVID-19 mortality in Mexico. Although both Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups share common risk factors, the combined effect of Indigenous status and each risk factor reveals greater vulnerability among the former. Significant interactions were observed with age over 60 years, sex, and delays in seeking medical care after the onset of symptoms.
