OBJECTIVE:To assess female homicide rates due to aggression according to sociodemographic and health indicators. METHODS: RESULTS:The standardized female homicide rate due to aggression was 4.1/100,000 during the study period. After adjustment, three variables remained signifi cantly associated with female homicides: birth rate (p = 0.072), percentage of Evangelicals (p = 0.019) and male homicides due to aggression (p < 0.001). The model had a predictive power of 69% (r2 = 0.699). The Brazilian states of Espírito Santo, Pernambuco, Mato Grosso, Rio de Janeiro, Rondônia, Alagoas, Mato Grosso do Sul, Roraima e Amapá showed the highest rates during the study period. CONCLUSIONS:The female homicide rates due to aggression were high in Brazil and varied by region. The association with male homicides due to aggression stresses the importance of reducing structural violence to protect women against violence. DESCRIPTORS:

“…Um estudo epidemiológico no RS apontou o enforcamento como responsável por 62% das mortes em geral 6 . Dessa maneira, vemos que no extremo oeste de SC o enforcamento é o método significativamente mais usado para o suicídio, enquanto que outras formas, como armas de fogo e envenenamento, apresentam participação discreta, quando comparada a estudos já publicados; no RS, as armas de fogo são responsáveis por mais de 20% dos suicídios 6 , enquanto a média brasileira se situa em 25% 19 ; o envenenamento apresentou taxas de 31% em estudo no município de Ribeirão Preto 20 . Este é outro ponto que ainda carece de estudos mais detalhados.…”

Introduction: The State of Santa Catarina is located in Southern Brazil. The suicide rate in this state is one of the largest in the country. Preliminary studies showed that the westernmost region of Santa Catarina has the largest rate in the state. Descriptive studies about suicide epidemiological profile in this area are not available. Method: A descriptive study of suicide rate in the west of Santa Catarina was performed, stratified by gender and age from 1980 to 2005. Methods of suicide are also described. The data were collected from the Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (Information Technology Department of the Brazilian Unified Health System -DATASUS). Results: Mean suicide rate was 10 cases/100,000 inhabitants in western Santa Catarina. The male rate was three times higher than that of females. There was a 50% increase in suicide rates during the study period, independent of gender or age. Hanging accounted for 76% of male and 73% of female deaths. Conclusions: This study confirms that the westernmost region of Santa Catarina has suicide rates higher than the state and national levels, comparable to the highest rates in the country. The epidemiological profile has similarities with the State of Rio Grande do Sul and it should be investigated in further studies.

“…The geographical information system (GIS) has contributed for more effective policy formulation for multisectoral intervention through analyses of spatial data in health. 17,18,23 Thus, the objective of the present study was to analyze the socioeconomic background and its relationship with spatial distribution of mortality due to homicide, suicide and traffi c accident.…”

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the socioeconomic background and its relationship with spatial distribution of mortality due to violence. METHODS:Ecological study conducted to explore the space distribution of mortality due to violence in the city of Vitória, Southeastern Brazil, between 2000 and 2003, based on population and socioeconomic information. Mortality data were correlated with information on victim's place of residence, type of violence, gender, and skin color. Data were analyzed using space average, odds ratio, and cluster analysis. RESULTS:There were reported 828 deaths due to violence during the study period, accounting for 17% of all deaths in the city. Of these, 72% were homicides, 21.8% traffi c accidents, and 6% suicides. Violence victims were mostly young black males, living in poorer areas of the city. In contrast, as for suicide and traffi c accidents, the victims were older white females living in the wealthiest area of the city. CONCLUSIONS:The study showed that violence is a phenomenon occurring in all socioeconomic levels but black people at the lowest level are more likely to die from homicides while white well-off people are more likely to die from suicide and traffi c accidents.
