Distribuição espacial da mortalidade por infarto agudo do miocárdio no Município do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

Abstract: The study analyzes the spatial distribution of mortality from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) IntroduçãoNa maioria dos países a doença isquêmica do coração representa uma das principais causas de óbito em homens e mulheres acima de trinta anos de idade. Apesar da tendência de declí-nio observada a partir da década de 80 em vá-rios países, a mortalidade por doença isquêmi-ca permanece elevada no Brasil 1,2 . Cabe destaque a elevada proporção de óbitos precoces por doença isquêmica do coração no Brasil, mui… Show more

“…These findings are consistent with others published recently in Brazil [17][18][19] . Ishitani et al 17 in studying the deaths of adults 35-64 years old between 1999 and 2001 in 98 municipalities with more than 100,000 inhabitants, 90% of them residents of the urban area, showed, by simple and multiple linear regression, a negative correlation between CVD and income/ educational level, and a positive association with poverty and poor living conditions.…”

“…In São José do Rio Preto, SP, Godoy et al 18 showed that the principal component extracted from the variables that reflects income and education in the domiciles explained 87% of the variation among the census strata, and stratification in quartiles based on this component was associated with a mortality by CVD 40% higher in the worst compared to the best stratum. Melo et al 19 in studying the spatial distribution of mortality by acute myocardial infarct in Rio de Janeiro, described a spatial distribution associated with a strong socioeconomic gradient.…”

“…This study, unlike ours, exclusively examined mortality from AMI and in all age groups, emphasizing the high proportion of early deaths observed (below 65 years). The authors showed a heterogeneous pattern of spatial distribution of AMI deaths associated with a strong social gradient, considering this "mosaic pattern" consistent with the social inequalities existing in our municipality 13 .…”

“…Some authors 3,5,8 who evaluated the access to invasive cardiovascular procedures concluded that people with low income are less likely to achieve such access. Brazilian studies [11][12][13] that evaluated the risk of death and cardiovascular disease concluded that the increased risk was influenced by low socioeconomic status.…”
