“…Likewise, factors directly related to CVD, obesity as measured by the body mass index (BMI) (Mobley et al, 2004;Tamura et al, 2014), smoking (Mobley et al, 2004), increased glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels (Jiwa et al, 2015;Paquet et al, 2016), hypertension (Wang et al, 2014b) and physical activity (Tamura et al, 2014;Cunningham-Myrie et al, 2015) also tend to cluster. These factors and others, like age, income, residency (rural or urban) and education, contribute to CVD clustering (Talbott et al, 2013;Nunes et al, 2013;Ahmadi et al, 2015;Caswell, 2016). Spatial analysis facilitates the study of the distribution on factors related to CVD from a spatial, seasonal or temporal viewpoint (Wang et al, 2014a;Roberson et al, 2016).…”

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the primary cause of death and disability in de world, and the detection of populations at risk as well as localization of vulnerable areas is essential for adequate epidemiological management. Techniques developed for spatial analysis, among them geographical information systems and spatial statistics, such as cluster detection and spatial correlation, are useful for the study of the distribution of the CVDs. These techniques, enabling recognition of events at different geographical levels of study (e.g., rural, deprived neighbourhoods, etc.), make it possible to relate CVDs to factors present in the immediate environment. The systemic literature presented here shows that this group of diseases is clustered with regard to incidence, mortality and hospitalization as well as obesity, smoking, increased glycated haemoglobin levels, hypertension physical activity and age. In addition, acquired variables such as income, residency (rural or urban) and education, contribute to CVD clustering. Both local cluster detection and spatial regression techniques give statistical weight to the findings providing valuable information that can influence response mechanisms in the health services by indicating locations in need of intervention and assignment of available resources.

“…This can be partially explained by the subtle and gradual decrease in underreporting rates, although it remains among the highest in Brazil 4 . In addition, another plausible hypothesis is attributed to the demographic transition experienced by the Northern region, with progressive population aging and growth in cardiocirculatory diseases 21 .…”

Objetivo: Descrever o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes com óbito por Acidente Vascular Encefálico (AVE) no Brasil e analisar a tendência temporal da mortalidade por AVE segundo a região geográfica. Métodos: Estudo observacional descritivo de série temporal com dados secundários obtidos a partir do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS), referentes ao período entre 2007 e 2016. As categorias da Classificação Internacional das Doenças, 10ª edição, (CID-10) utilizadas foram I60-I69. Não foi necessária a submissão do projeto a um Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: No período analisado, ocorreram 998.529 óbitos por AVE no Brasil, dos quais 50,3% eram do sexo masculino, 51,2% brancos, 35,9% com idade igual ou superior a 80 anos, 37,2% casados e 46,8% com escolaridade igual ou inferior a 3 anos de estudo. Houve tendência de redução da mortalidade no país, (β=-0,262), estando fortemente associado ao tempo (r=0,861) e estatisticamente significante (p=0,001). As regiões sudeste e sul apresentaram as maiores tendências de redução da mortalidade (β=-0,519 e -0,461, respectivamente). Conclusões: Os óbitos por AVE ocorreram predominantemente em indivíduos do sexo masculino, brancos, idosos, casados e com baixa escolaridade. A redução da mortalidade por AVE aconteceu de forma desigual no país, de modo que as regiões com melhores condições socioeconômicas, sudeste e sul, tiveram as maiores tendências de queda.

“…Considering the significant number of deaths from external causes reported as undetermined intention (codes: Y10-Y34), the correction of deaths by suicide was conducted through the proportion between deaths by suicide and the total of deaths from external causes for the entire period of studies, and summarized according to the equation 11 :…”

This study aimed to analyze the trend in the standardized suicide rates by gender, according to Brazil’s geographic regions from 2000 to 2017. Mortality data were retrieved from the Brazilian Mortality Information System database. Linear regression models were used, and Durbin-Watson tests were applied to detect the independence of the residues, as well as Prais-Winsten to control serial autocorrelation. We classified the trends as increasing, decreasing, and stable at 5% significance level. The standardized rate of deaths by suicide for men increased by 75%, from 6.5 to 11.3 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. For women, the increase was 85%, from 1.6 to 3.0 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. We found a gradual increase in the standardized suicide rates in all regions for both genders. The growth magnitude of suicide rates in the South is twice for women, whereas for the Northeast it is greater for men. The South and the Central-West regions presented the highest rates, whereas the North the lowest. The trend of standardized rates of suicide is linear and significantly increasing for Brazil and its total geographic regions for both genders. Male and female suicide rates indicate different risk rates according to gender.

Mortality due to diseases of the circulatory system among the elderly population in Brazilian Amazon: temporal and spatial analysis

Abstract: The Brazilian Amazon presents an increasing trend with high rates of mortality by the circulatory diseases, and the geographic areas with the highest rates are around the Brazilian Amazon, in the states of Tocantins, Maranhão and Mato Grosso.
