In the literature

At the start of the pandemic, we observed a nearly 20% increase in COVID-19 cases by town associated with one standard deviation increase in the percentage of town residents identifying as Latinx, but the strength of this positive association varied over time, with a decreasing association from April to September and an uptick in the association in the last phase of our model (September 3rd to October 29th). We observed a decreasing trend in the association between percent of the town population older than 80 years and the number of long-term care facility beds per town per capita with COVID-19 incidence, indicating that the presence of older residents and institutional care facilities in a town had a stronger association with incidence in the early, but not the later, periods of the study.
This result clearly highlights the disparity in relation to what is observed in more developed regions in Brazil, such as the south and southeast, where there is a decreasing trend in that index, while in the north and midwest regions there is a tendency towards stabilization. 7 This difference in the mortality slope due to IHD among Brazilian regions, with greater disadvantage in the northeast region, was already observed in a study involving data from more than two decades ago - 1981 to 2001. 8 This heterogeneity persisted in subsequent analyzes, although there has been a convergence of trends among regions, 7 , 9 reflecting the weight of socioeconomic development and access to health services in controlling mortality from IHD, and other CVDs.
