Background: The SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic has affected a large percentage of the Peruvian population, being one of the Latin American and Caribbean countries with the highest fatality rate, 9,18%. Different comorbidities have been related to mortality from COVID-19, such as arterial hypertension obesity, and diabetes mellitus, but it is not known how much the population attributable fraction is of dying from this infectious disease suffering from these non-communicable diseases in Peru. Aims: Quantify the population attributable fraction of dying from COVID-19 associated with arterial hypertension, obesity or diabetes mellitus in people aged 15 years and over in Peru. Methods: An ecological study was applied to determine the population attributable fraction of dying from COVID-19 associated with arterial hypertension, obesity or diabetes mellitus in people aged 15 years and over in Peru. The estimated Peruvian population, the prevalence of Peruvian patients diagnosed with arterial hypertension, obesity, or diabetes mellitus, the relative risk of dying from COVID-19 attributable to these diseases, from systemic review and meta-analysis type studies and the death rate from COVID-19 for each department of Peru and nationwide, were included for the data analysis. This information was collected from the national database for the year 2020. The population attributable fraction for each disease was estimated with 95% confidence intervals. Results: A population attributable fraction (FAP%) of 23,3% (95% CI 16 – 31,3) was found for arterial hypertension, 36,7% (95% CI 6,8 – 65,9) for obesity and 25,8% (95% CI 21,8 – 32,8) for diabetes mellitus. Conclusion: According to the results, the susceptibility of the Peruvian population who suffer from arterial hypertension, obesity or diabetes mellitus has a direct connection to people who die from COVID-19. In addition, the acknowledgment of these people, who is vulnerable to die from COVID-19, provides valuable information to the health services in order to improve activities for the promotion and prevention of non-communicable diseases that are carried out by the health services of Peru.
