Resumo: Objective: To assess the impact and correlation of socioeconomic vulnerability on COVID-19 outcomes and social distancing in Brazil. Methods: The Gini Coefficient (GC), the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), epidemiological data on COVID-19 epidemic in Brazil, and the Social Distancing Index (SDI) were retrieved from online databases and assessed for each Brazilian state. Data was statistically analyzed through non-parametric tests and multiple linear regressions. Results: The mean values for the GC and SVI were 0.495 and 0.261, respectively. A positive statistically significant correlation between the socioeconomic indicators and the three variables related to the COVID-19 outbreak was found. States with very low social vulnerability presented fewer deaths per 100 thousand inhabitants due to COVID-19 than states with moderate social vulnerability. SVI was a predictor of accumulated cases, confirmed deaths, and social distancing in Brazilian states during COVID-19. Conclusions: The COVID-19 outcomes and SDI in Brazilian states are correlated to the socioeconomic condition. The pandemic impacts are more severe in less favored communities.

Materiais e Métodos: O Coeficiente de Gini (CG), o Índice de Vulnerabilidade Social (IVS), dados epidemiológicos sobre a epidemia da COVID-19 no Brasil e o Índice de Distanciamento Social (IDS) foram obtidos a partir de bases de dados online e avaliados para cada estado brasileiro. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente através de testes não-paramétricos e de regressão logística linear. Resultados: Os valores médios para o CG e IVS foram 0.495 e 0.261, respectivamente. Uma correlação estatística positiva foi encontrada entre os indicadores socioeconômicos e as três variáveis relacionadas à epidemia de COVID-19. Os estados brasileiros com menores índices de vulnerabilidade social apresentaram uma quantidade menor de mortes pela COVID-19, para cada cem mil habitantes, quando comparados com estados com vulnerabilidade social moderada. O IVS foi um preditor para o acumulado de casos, mortes confirmadas e distanciamento social nos estados brasileiros durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Conclusão: Os desfechos da COVID-19 e o IDS nos estados brasileiros estão correlacionados com a condição socioeconômica. Os impactos da pandemia são mais severos nas localidades mais vulneráveis.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2020-08-21info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/112610.1590/SciELOPreprints.1126enghttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/1126/1682Copyright (c) 2020 Paulo Cardoso Lins-Filho, Millena Mirella Silva de Araújo, Thuanny Silva de Macêdo, Maria Cecília Freire de Melo, Andressa Kelly Alves Ferreira, Elizabeth Louisy Marques Soares da Silva, Jaciel Leandro de Melo Freitas, Arnaldo de França Caldas Jrhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLins-Filho, Paulo CardosoAraújo, Millena Mirella Silva deMacêdo, Thuanny Silva deMelo, Maria Cecília Freire deFerreira, Andressa Kelly AlvesSilva, Elizabeth Louisy Marques Soares daFreitas, Jaciel Leandro de MeloCaldas Jr, Arnaldo de Françareponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2020-08-20T23:59:51Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/1126Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2020-08-20T23:59:51SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse
