“…A similar strategy was employed by Bastos et al, 10 in Vitória, ES, in a study that analyzed the spatial distribution of mortality due to accidents, identifying accident victims' residential addresses and relating the results to the socioeconomic context. That study showed that traffic accidents are responsible for 21.8% of violent deaths, to the extent that they can be defined as a public health problem.…”

“…This municipality was not covered by our study since it is not part of the Taubaté administrative region, but it is another important pole within the Vale do Paraíba. 12 After investigating age as a possible aggravating factor in motorcycle accidents, Bastos et al 10 concluded that the majority of victims were predominantly young people of productive age (median of 25 years old). We did not analyze age as a variable in our study.…”

“…Em Itabuna os setores censitários, que compuseram o cluster considerado como de alta condição de vida, estão localizados na região central da cidade e se destacaram pela baixa ocorrência de residência de vítimas de homicídio, ao contrário de outros estudos que identificaram a concentração de homicídios nas áreas próximas ao centro da cidade 11,22 . No entanto, no cluster de mais baixa condição de vida, o coeficiente médio de mortalidade por homicídios é ainda menor.…”

“…Estudos apontam que os processos estruturais que produzem, simultaneamente, o acúmulo de riqueza apropriada por pequena parcela da população, e o crescimento da pobreza que afeta a maioria dos habitantes nas grandes áreas urbanas, contribuem para o aprofundamento das desigualdades sociais e favorecem as respostas violentas como forma de sobrevivência em um meio hostil e injusto 8,9 . Estudos sobre a mortalidade por homicídios 10,11 apontam para a distribuição desigual do risco de morte violenta no espaço urbano, penalizando as áreas mais pobres das cidades, demonstrando a complexidade das relações que se estabelecem entre a pobreza, a riqueza, a desigualdade social, a deterioração/crescimento urbano e a violência. Desta forma, é pertinente a construção de indicadores, que contribuam para o diagnóstico das condições de vida das populações possibilitando, pela identificação das situações de risco, um direcionamento das ações de saúde de modo mais específico às populações mais vulneráveis.…”

“…[6][7] Ethnicity is not considered a risk factor, but the adverse social insertion of an ethnic group is a characteristic of vulnerability. 8 Ethnic differences are associated with social inequalities and condition the way of living and dying of population groups. 9 With regard to deaths and serious injuries caused by traffic accidents in Brazil, it is estimated that more than 150 thousand people were affected and costs represented 28 billion reais, generating a great burden on the health system.…”
