Decomposition of mortality rates from cardiovascular disease in the adult population: a study for Brazilian micro-regions between 1996 and 2015

Abstract: As mortes por doenças cardiovasculares constituem um dos mais sérios problemas de saúde, pois representam a primeira causa de morte em todo o planeta, inclusive no Brasil (algo em torno de 30% nos últimos anos). Entretanto, a mortalidade devido a essa causa não se apresenta de maneira uniforme no território brasileiro, uma vez que o país ainda possui importantes disparidades regionais resultantes das desigualdades socioeconômicas e de acesso aos sistemas de saúde.

“…These municipalities can be aggregated into 558 micro-regions, although, do not constitute political or administrative entities. Therefore, there is an absence of and a need for studies on variation in mortality over time and space, especially for small areas, although, over the past years there has been an increasing interest in identifying regional differences in mortality within the country for smaller areas (16)(17)(18)(19). Policies for public health and well-being must be spatially focused to serve an aging population subject to varying risks of mortality from different causes.…”
