*Abstract/Resumen:* Ethnic inequalities are often associated with social
determinants of health. This study seeks to identify the latest scientific
evidence on inequalities in the health of people of African descent in the
Americas. For this, a systematic review of the literature on health and
people of African descent in the Americas was carried out in the LILACS,
PubMed, MEDLINE, and IBECS databases. Institutional and academic
repositories were also consulted.
Evidence was obtained on the presence and persistence of health
inequalities in the population of African descent in the Americas from the
identification of five types of quantitative and qualitative evidence: (1)
ethnic/racial concept and variables; (2) relations with other social
determinants; (3) health risks; (4) barriers and inequalities in health
services; and, (5) morbi-mortality from chronic diseases. Studies with
qualitative methods revealed invisibility, stereotypes, and rejection or
exclusion as main factors of inequality. This review evidenced the
existence of health inequalities, its interconnection with other adverse
social determinants and risk factors, and its generation and perpetuation
by discrimination, marginalization, and social disadvantage. These
conditions make people of African descent a priority population group for
action on equity, as demanded by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development.
