SUMMARY:

The pandemic generated by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which started in December 2019, has been characterized by severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), among other relevant health problems. The objective of this research is to analyze the burden of the Covid-19 pandemic on the elderly population in Brazil, by estimating the COVID-19 mortality curve for the year 2020, observing the years of life lost and effects on life expectancy. This is an ecological study of multiple groups, whose unit of analysis will be composed of the municipalities in Brazil. The study population is people aged 60 years and over. Death data were extracted secondarily through the Mortality Information System (SIM). The results of the present study show that there are differences in mortality from Covid-19 between regions in Brazil. The most affected age group was 80 years and over. And the male sex having a higher occurrence of deaths. From the spatial statistics, the correlation between PMR by Covid-19 and the socioeconomic variables of the study was verified. With regard to years of life lost, the Southeast and Northeast regions stood out with the highest absolute number of potential years lost. The estimates produced by the multiple decrement tables represented gains in years in life expectancy for all regions when excluding Covid-19 deaths. For both sexes, the greatest gains occurred in the North and Midwest regions, reaching more than 2 years in gains considering the absence of these deaths. The northern region still had the highest probability of death when including only deaths from Covid-19 (_nq_x) and a significant reduction when these deaths were eliminated (_nq_x-^ix). This study may support strategic planning/actions aimed at fighting Covid-19.
