“…The greater proportion of male deaths in the overall mortality rates found in the present study were also observed in Recife (Pernambuco) 12 , where higher rates were found in elderly men (mean 5.44 deaths/100,000 inhabitants) than in elderly women (mean of 3.73 deaths/100,000 inhabitants) between the years 1996 to 2007. The paradoxical phenomenon of male and female survival observed in modern human societies, in which women experience greater longevity than men, results from both biological and environmental differences that include behavioral, cultural, and social factors [13][14][15] .…”

“…1 A causa básica revela a doença inicial da sequência que levou ao falecimento, imaginando-se que o óbito não teria ocorrido na sua ausência e, portanto, ela deve orientar as ações em saúde no sentido de sua prevenção. 2 A análise da causa básica revela que o padrão de mortalidade brasileiro tem sofrido complexas mudanças, que tendem a se assemelhar ao perfil de países desenvolvidos.…”
