Popis: In this study, we aimed to present mortality indicators from a database of death causes by age and sex in Navarre (Spain) for 2020: life expectancy at birth, excess mortality, and mortality from COVID-19 and other causes.A Poisson regression model, which accounts for temporal trends in the previous years, was used to estimate the expected deaths by sex and age for 2020.Life expectancy at birth in Navarre for 2020 was 80.6 and 85.9 years for men and women, respectively, 1.4 and 1.0 years lower than in 2019. Deaths in people aged55 years were similar to those expected. The highest adjusted excess mortality rate occurred among men and women aged85 years, were 61% of excess deaths was concentrated. The estimated number of excess deaths did not exceed the number of reported deaths from COVID-19. In individuals aged75 years, around 9 out of 10 people died from COVID-19. Coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a remarkable decrease in mortality in people affected by diseases where dementia is included.The first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic reduced life expectancy at birth to figures observed ten years ago. The increase in deaths in Navarre for 2020 is largely attributable to COVID-19.
