The scope of this paper was to analyze the trends, impact on life expectancy and effect of the main associated socioeconomic factors with the death rate by homicide in Colombia between 2000 and 2014 at the state level, by gender and age groups. Standardized mortality rates and years of life lost among those under 85 years of age were calculated and multivariate regression analysis was performed using negative binomial fixed effects regression models with panel data to analyze the associated socioeconomic factors with the incidence of homicide. The reduction of the death rate by homicide in Colombia was corroborated, which was generalized at state level, though it did not occur homogenously. A higher mortality risk was found among males, particularly between 15 and 49 years of age. Economic growth and inequality were negatively associated with death rates by homicide; unemployment was positively associated; and poverty had no effect on the mortality rate. Investigating the main associated factors with homicidal violence is complex, but is indispensable due to its impact on economic and social development, given that it mainly affects the population of productive age, with broad public health consequences and at a high cost to healthcare services.

Local Abstract: [Publisher, Spanish; Castilian] El objetivo fue analizar la tendencia, impacto en la esperanza de vida y efecto de los principales factores socioeconómicos asociados con la mortalidad por homicidios en Colombia entre 2000-2014 a nivel departamental, por sexo y grupos de edad. Se calcularon tasas estandarizadas de mortalidad, años de vida perdidos en menores de 85 años de edad y un análisis de regresión múltiple, ocupando modelos de regresión binomial negativa de datos panel de efectos fijos para analizar los factores socioeconómicos asociados con la incidencia de homicidios. Se corroboró la disminución de la mortalidad por homicidios en Colombia, la cual se dio de forma generalizada a nivel departamental, pero no fue homogénea. Se observó un mayor riesgo de fallecer en hombres de 15-49 años de edad. El crecimiento económico y la desigualdad se asociaron negativamente con la tasa de homicidios; el desempleo lo hizo de manera positiva; y la pobreza no tuvo un efecto significativo. Investigar los factores asociados con la violencia homicida es complejo, pero indispensable debido al impacto que tiene en el desarrollo económico y social, ya que afecta mayormente a la población en edades productivas, con amplias consecuencias en salud pública y altos costos de atención de los servicios de salud.
