Dahal S, Luo R, Swahn MH, et al. - Researchers sought to ascertain the excess mortality patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico in correlation with socio-demographic, climate and population health characteristics on the geospatial variability.

• All-cause excess mortality rates were estimated for all 32 Mexican states by using Serfling regression models.

• Until April 10, 2021, the overall all-cause excess deaths rate was estimated at 39.66 per 10,000 population during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.

• The highest all-cause excess mortality rates were recorded among Central Mexican states.

• In Mexico, nearly 1 in 5 (19%) of all excess deaths were recorded in Mexico City.

• There appeared a positive association of aging index, marginalization index, and household size with excess death rates.

• Four distinct clusters of excess mortality growth rate curves were identified at state level.
