Abstract: RESUMO -Objetivo: O tabagismo como fator de risco para a Doença Cerebrovascular ainda é motivo de divergências na literatura médica. Utilizou-se o delineamento por agregados para determinar a relação entre a mortalidade por Doença Cerebrovascular e o hábito de fumar no Brasil utilizando a mortalidade por câncer de pulmão como substituto do tabagismo.

“…The importance of smoking has been demonstrated over the years through a series of intra-and interpopulational proofs. An ecological study, assessing smoking and mortality due to CAD and comparing the capitals of some Brazilian metropolitan regions in 1988, suggested the existence of a clear association between smoking and mortality due to CAD 6 . Recently, a hospital-based, case-control study, assessing the risk factors for AMI in Indians, has reported that the most important predictive factor of AMI is smoking (OR = 3.6) 7 .…”

Earlier studies of the trends in mortality from these diseases in the Brazilian population only analyzed them for regions, cities, or specific diseases [5][6][7][8][9] . Comparisons with the mortality in populations from other countries also remained restricted to some Brazilian cities 10 .…”

Especificamente no Estado de São Paulo, ao noroeste do qual se situa São José Rio Preto, está ocorrendo uma diminuição na mortalidade por DIC da ordem de 1,16% ao ano para homens, e de 1,52% ao ano para mulheres.…”
