Objetivo: describir y analizar los determinantes estructurales y su relación con el índice de COP en países de desarrollo alto, mediano y bajo durante las últimas tres décadas. Materiales y métodos: estudio descriptivo realizado a partir de una revisión de la literatura internacional y nacional en bases de datos y páginas web. Resultados: se encontró un país con índice de COP elevado; un país con índice de COP moderado; 10 países con índice de COP bajo; y 10 países con índice de COP muy bajo. Los países de desarrollo alto y los países de desarrollo bajo se comportan de manera similar en tanto reportan índices de COP inferiores al promedio mundial sugerido por la OMS (2.4). Discusión y conclusiones: se concluye que los valores de COP están asociados fuertemente a factores macroeconómicos, como las políticas y servicios de cuidado de la salud disponibles para la población, más que a la clasificación de desarrollo del Banco Mundial. Los determinantes sociales están directamente relacionados con las políticas estructurales que afectan el bienestar social, la salud y la calidad de vida de la población.
Objective: To describe and analyse the structural determinants and its relation with DMTF index in countries with developing high, medium and low, over the past three decades. Materials and Methods: Descriptive and interpretative study, made from a review of the literature on international and national databases and web pages. Results: We found a country with high DMTF index; a country with moderate DMTF index; ten countries with low DMTF index; ten countries with very low DMTF index. The highly developed countries and low development countries behave similarly, both reported DMTF index below the world average suggested by WHO (2.4). Discussion and Conclusions: We conclude that the DMTF values are strongly associated macroeconomic factors, such as policies and services of health care available to the population, rather than the classification of development of the World Bank. Social determinants are directly related to structural policies that affect social welfare, health and quality of life of the population.
