Abstract

Objective: To estimate the Potential Years of Life Lost (APVP) by Covid 19 in Ceará, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, according to sex and age, from March to August 2020. Methods: This is an epidemiological study of the type descriptive, comparative. Data analysis occurred through the calculation of APVP, proposed by Romeder and McWhinnie (1977), and the method was adapted for this research. Results: The most significant results of APVP by Covid-19 come from the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In these same locations, the age group with the highest APVP was 55 to 59 years. In Ceará, in contrast, APVPs were concentrated in greater numbers in the 50-54 age group, with the male gender standing out in relation to the female. Conclusion: The quantification of APVP is essential to guide public health priorities.
