“…6,11 According to Moraes et al, 14 traffi c accidents were the leading cause of death in Brazil until 1990s when they were surpassed by homicides, which reportedly were the leading external cause of death in the year 2000. 4 Fonte: Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Vitória Several authors have described a strong relationship between urban decay and its impacts on life conditions, supporting the assumption that violence is not only brought about by poverty but rather by a set of related factors. 2,13,18,21 They claim there is a correlation between the magnitude of homicides seen in macroregions with the lowest UQLI and poor socioeconomic conditions.…”

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the socioeconomic background and its relationship with spatial distribution of mortality due to violence. METHODS:Ecological study conducted to explore the space distribution of mortality due to violence in the city of Vitória, Southeastern Brazil, between 2000 and 2003, based on population and socioeconomic information. Mortality data were correlated with information on victim's place of residence, type of violence, gender, and skin color. Data were analyzed using space average, odds ratio, and cluster analysis. RESULTS:There were reported 828 deaths due to violence during the study period, accounting for 17% of all deaths in the city. Of these, 72% were homicides, 21.8% traffi c accidents, and 6% suicides. Violence victims were mostly young black males, living in poorer areas of the city. In contrast, as for suicide and traffi c accidents, the victims were older white females living in the wealthiest area of the city. CONCLUSIONS:The study showed that violence is a phenomenon occurring in all socioeconomic levels but black people at the lowest level are more likely to die from homicides while white well-off people are more likely to die from suicide and traffi c accidents.

“…The demographic structure has been changing over recent decades in Brazil, probably due to declines in infant mortality rate and fertility rate. 14,15 This change has been having a signifi cant impact on all aspects of health statistics and medical care, and there is a very urgent need to address the question of injuries among this age group. There is extensive literature on successful measures for preventing falls among the elderly.…”

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Since 1980, injuries have been the second biggest cause of death among the Brazilian population. This study aimed to analyze national data on fatal injuries and nonfatal injury hospitalization in Brazil, for 2003. DESIGN AND SETTING: This was a population-based descriptive study, Brazil, 2003. METHODS: Data from 126,520 fatal injuries and 733,712 nonfatal injuries seen at public hospitals were analyzed. The data were stratified by sex, age, intent and injury mechanism. Raw and age- and sex-specific rates were calculated per 100,000 individuals. RESULTS: The raw injury mortality rate was 71.5/100,000 (122.6/100,000 for male and 22.0/100,000 for female). For fatal injuries, the proportions of unintentional and intentional injuries were equal (44.3% and 46.9%, respectively). Homicides were the leading cause, 40.3% overall (28.8/100,000), followed by transport-related deaths, 26.2% overall (17.0/100,000). For nonfatal injuries, the rate was 414.8/100,000 and unintentional injuries were predominant (88.9%). Overall, the leading cause was unintentional falls, accounting for 42.6% of victims treated in public hospitals (176.8/100,000). Transport-related injuries were second: 15.0% overall; 62.0/100,000. Fractures comprised 46.7% of principal diagnoses at hospitals. The injury types in the fatal and nonfatal datasets varied according to sex and age. The highest rates were found among young males and elderly people. CONCLUSIONS: Injury prevention activities need to be developed. To prevent deaths, homicide has to be addressed. Among hospitalized cases, falls are the most important problem. Traffic-related injuries play an important role in morbidity and mortality.

“…Ressalta-se que, entre os homens a taxa de mortalidade foi de 5,0 óbitos e, para as mulheres, de 1,6 óbitos/100 mil habitantes. 3 Vale ressaltar que a definição clássica de violência autoinfligida apresenta-se como: "todo caso de morte que resulte, direta ou indiretamente de um ato positivo ou negativo, praticado pela própria vítima, sabedora de que poderia produzir esse resultado". 4:16 Assim, violência autoinfligida é um ato consciente e autodestrutivo, que pode ser compreendido como uma enfermidade multidimensional.…”

RESUMO:Os dados mundiais evidenciam que, aproximadamente, um milhão de pessoas cometeram violência autoinfligida, em 2000, e as consequências têm sido alarmantes. Uma pessoa morre por esse motivo a cada 40 segundos, e outra atenta contra a própria vida a cada três segundos. Estudo exploratório, objetivando a análise epidemiológica de mortalidade por violência autoinfligida do Estado de Minas Gerais, por meio do cálculo do Coeficiente de Mortalidade Padronizado e Anos Potenciais de Vida Perdidos. A mortalidade, no período de 1996 a 2007, foi 4,29 óbitos por 100.000 habitantes, sendo superior nos homens (6,90) em relação às mulheres (1,73). A faixa etária de 40 a 59 anos atingiu mortalidade de 7,0 óbitos por 100.000 habitantes. Em relação aos anos de vida perdidos a média da idade de óbitos manteve-se em torno dos 40 anos, evidenciando a perda do potencial social do sujeito acometido pela violência autoinfligida. DESCRITORES:Violência. Suicídio. Estudos epidemiológicos. SELF-INFLICTED VIOLENCE AND YEARS OF POTENTIAL LIFE LOST IN MINAS GERAIS, BRAZILABSTRACT: Worldwide data shows that approximately one million people committed self inflicted violence in 2000 and that the consequences have been alarming. One person dies for this reason every 40 seconds, with another attempting to take his/her life every three seconds. This exploratory study targeting the epidemiological analysis of mortality by self-inflicted violence in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, through calculating the Standardized Mortality Coefficient and Potential Years of Life Lost. Mortality calculated from 1996 to 2007 was 4.29 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants, with men (6.9) outpacing women (1.73). The age range of 40 to 59 years reached a mortality coefficient of 7.0 deaths per 100,000 residents. In relation to the distribution of years of life lost, the average age of those who died remained around 40 years, focusing on the loss of the potential social subject taken by self-inflicted violence. DESCRIPTORS:Violence. Suicide. Epidemiologic studies. LA VIOLENCIA AUTOINFLIGIDA Y LOS AÑOS POTENCIALES DE VIDA PERDIDOS EN MINAS GERAIS, BRASILRESUMEN: Estadísticas mundiales demuestran que aproximadamente un millón de personas han cometido violencia autoinfligida en 2000, y las consecuencias han sido alarmantes.
