Ganhos em expectativa de vida ao nascer no Brasil nos anos 2000: impacto das variações da mortalidade por idade e causas de morte

Abstract

Life expectancy at birth is a synthetic mortality indicator that reflects the general living conditions of the population. Changes in mortality by age and causes of death generate no explicit changes in the indicator. The application of a decomposition method can bring light to the analysis of the phenomenon. The aim of this study was to estimate the contribution of age groups and causes of death in the variation in life expectancy at birth, for men and women, from 2000 to 2010, by applying Pollard's decomposition method. Brazilian life tables were obtained from IBGE and death data from SIM. The results indicate that the age group that most contributed to the increase in life expectancy was of less than 1 year old. Among the defined causes, cardiovascular diseases were responsible for the largest increase in life expectancy.

“…Indicadores eficientes de mortalidade por causas de morte são relevantes porque subsidiam o planejamento das ações de saúde e avaliação destas; sendo, portanto, importantes na análise da situação de saúde para direcionamento de políticas públicas (França et al, 2014;Corrêa & Miranda-Ribeiro, 2017).…”

Reflections on elderly autonomy and its meaning for the practice of nursing care

“…The aging process is directly impacted by people's lifestyles, which can be affected early by CNCDs (2) . As soon as the modus operandi of a society changes, the approach to health care needs to be updated and shaped, respecting the technical-scientific parameters.…”

“…Elderly death occurs, predominantly, due to chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs), which include cardiovascular diseases, neoplasms, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes mellitus. Thus, the epidemiological transition followed the evolution of changes in the health-disease process, however, there was no adequate preparation of public health policies to deal with this new statistic (2) .…”

Educação Financeira na Educação Básica: um foco nas percepções dos estudantes

“…Direcionando o olhar para o Brasil 1 , em meados da década de 1990 e início dos anos 2000, a sociedade brasileira passou por consideráveis mudanças. Dentre elas, destaca-se o aumento da classe média; o aumento da expectativa de vida; a redução da extrema pobreza e, consequentemente, da desigualdade (SCALON; SALATA, 2012; CORRÊA; MIRANDA- RIBEIRO, 2017). Esse novo cenário fez urgir a necessidade de educar financeiramente os cidadãos, de modo que eles pudessem tomar decisões conscientes (BRASIL, 2010).…”
