“…The IHD mortality rate plus IDC in the elderly, (obtained by the second correction method), reversed some of the associations found initially at the IDC rate without correction. The associations found with the IHD mortality rate plus IDC tended to show greater mortality in districts with low socioeconomic status, which is consistent with what is found in the literature 12,[21][22][23] . However, the variable proportion of households with one resident, which previously was positively correlated with IHD mortality, started to have a negative correlation, and the proportion of households with a density of more than 4 people per bedroom started to show a weak and not significant positive correlation.…”

“…This finding may be partly related to the proportion of ill-defined causes. On the other hand, it may be related to a distinct profile in the age group of elderly, already observed in another study 23 . In this study, we used two different methods of correction of ill-defined causes.…”

“…Ishitani et al 22 , ao compararem a mortalidade por doenças cardiovasculares entre municípios brasileiros, concluíram que morte por doenças cardiovasculares e por doenças cerebrovasculares e hipertensivas foi maior quando eram piores a escolaridade e a renda (correlação inversa) e maiores a taxa de pobreza e a proporção de pessoas vivendo em condições precárias de moradia. Por outro lado, estudo realizado em Botucatu, Estado de São Paulo, não encontrou associação entre o risco de morte cardiovascular e os indicadores socioeconômicos em uma coorte de idosos, levando à suposição de que o grupo de estudo era muito homogêneo em relação a essa característica 23 . Pesquisa conduzida no Rio de Janeiro também não encontrou correlação entre mortalidade por doença isquêmica do coração em idosos nas regiões onde havia melhores condições socioeconômicas 16 .…”
