Microdata from the Censo de Poblacion y Vivienda 2010 (National Housing and Population Census) were used to provide information on
sources of income, employment status, levels of poverty, social security, and health services coverage of older persons [32]. A previous
analysis by the National Population Council was used to guide this current review [33]. Key differences between male and female populations
and rural and urban inhabitants were identified using pre-defined census criteria.
