Tendência da mortalidade por doenças do aparelho circulatório no Brasil: 1950 a 2000

Abstract

SummaryBackground: The circulatory system diseases (CAD), one of the most important current health problems, have started to show a declining trend in mortality in several countries, although they are still proportionally the number one regarding the statistics of morbimortality.

Análise da tendência da mortalidade por acidente vascular cerebral no Brasil no século XXI

“…The gross mortality rate showed a slight decrease, which was more evident in males, similar to that found by Smith et al 30 , while the standardized mortality rate showed a greater reduction, especially among women, corroborating the results of other studies 6,28,[30][31][32] . This decline in CVA mortality is well observed when comparing 2009 with 2000, as the values of these rates varied during this period.…”

Estudo comparativo de mortalidade por doenças cardiovasculares em São Caetano do Sul (SP), Brasil, no período de 1980 a 2010

“…Men tend to use healthcare services more in emergencies, and are hospitalized more frequently 33 . Chor et al 34 11 found a reduction in mortality due to circulatory system diseases in Brazil between 1950 and 2000, and that the pattern of reduction differed among the various state capitals. According to the authors, the highest risks and the biggest decreases since the start of the study period were found in Fortaleza, Salvador, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, possibly due to significant urban development and industrialization in the first half of the 20 th Century, influencing the emergence of circulatory diseases earlier in life.…”

“…Although some studies show a decrease in CVD deaths 1,[3][4][5][6][7][8]11,[19][20][21] , possibly due to accelerated economic development, bringing with it better living conditions and less exposure to infections during the perinatal period 4 , such deaths may present themselves in a non-homogeneous manner within the population groups of a given country, as mentioned by Frank et al 22 . Reinforcing these findings, Mansur et al 19 found an increase in the risk of death due to these diseases in the less developed states of the country, which agrees with the study by Farias et al 23 , which suggests that despite a decrease in recent years, these deaths may show different patterns in the different socioeconomic groups.…”

“…Although the population in general is increasing and living longer, different studies report declining mortality due to CVD as the result of changes in lifestyle, improved technology for disease prevention and treatment, and the implementation of a range of public health policies [8][9][10][11][12] . According to Lima Costa et al 1 , between 1996 and 2000, deaths due to cerebrovascular and ischemic heart diseases experienced the sharpest drops.…”

Mortalidade por doenças cardiovasculares segundo gênero e idade no Estado do Paraná, Brasil: 1979 a 1981 e 2006 a 2008

“…Ressalta-se aqui uma redução de mortalidade menor no gênero masculino para as DIC (21,9%). Os resultados encontrados nesse estudo permitiram identificar que em cada triênio a magnitude dos coeficientes por DIC foi maior para o gênero masculino, aumentando com o avançar da idade em ambos os sexos para o estado, sendo esses achados corroborados por diversos autores que avaliaram as tendências de mortalidade em outros estados e municípios do Brasil [15][16][17][18] . Verificou-se no presente trabalho que a mortalidade por DIC aumentou e, para a população masculina, esse aumento já supera as DCBV no estado do Paraná.…”
