“…In 2014, smoking prevalence reduced to 10.8% (95% CI: 10.1–11.4%) in Brazilian capitals [ 33 ]. Rates are higher for males and females in Southern states, as found previously [ 34 ], probably due to smoking exposure as these states have the highest prevalence of smoking according to the Annual Surveys on Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases (VIGITEL) results [ 35 ]. This finding could be also related to improved data capture as completeness and quality of reporting is better in those states [ 7 ].…”

BackgroundReliable data on cause of death (COD) are fundamental for planning and resource allocation priorities. We used GBD 2015 estimates to examine levels and trends for the leading causes of death in Brazil from 1990 to 2015.MethodsWe describe the main analytical approaches focused on both overall and specific causes of death for Brazil and Brazilian states.ResultsThere was an overall improvement in life expectancy at birth from 1990 to 2015, but with important heterogeneity among states. Reduced mortality due to diarrhea, lower respiratory infections, and other infectious diseases contributed the most for increasing life expectancy in most states from the North and Northeast regions. Reduced mortality due to cardiovascular diseases was the highest contributor in the South, Southeast, and Center West regions. However, among men, intentional injuries reduced life expectancy in 17 out of 27 states. Although age-standardized rates due to ischemic heart disease (IHD) and cerebrovascular disease declined over time, these remained the leading CODs in the country and states. In contrast, leading causes of premature mortality changed substantially - e.g., diarrheal diseases moved from 1st to 13th and then the 36th position in 1990, 2005, and 2015, respectively, while violence moved from 7th to 1st and to 2nd. Overall, the total age-standardized years of life lost (YLL) rate was reduced from 1990 to 2015, bringing the burden of premature deaths closer to expected rates given the country’s Socio-demographic Index (SDI). In 1990, IHD, stroke, diarrhea, neonatal preterm birth complications, road injury, and violence had ratios higher than the expected, while in 2015 only violence was higher, overall and in all states, according to the SDI.ConclusionsA widespread reduction of mortality levels occurred in Brazil from 1990 to 2015, particularly among children under 5 years old. Major shifts in mortality rates took place among communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional disorders. The mortality profile has shifted to older ages with increases in non-communicable diseases as well as premature deaths due to violence. Policymakers should address health interventions accordingly.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12963-017-0156-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Better diagnosis might be the other potential cause of increase in the COPD‐specific mortality rate. The decline in COPD mortality rate is also reported in some other countries . Although in this study, the rate of mortality from COPD had increased in both sexes, the results of a study in England and Wales showed an increase in COPD mortality rate in females, but it reported a decrease in males .…”

“…The latest statistics from COPD identify a gradual decline in some parts of the world in relation to morbidity and mortality. However, in Brazil, we found that the prevalence among adults and the elderly is significant (19%), which implies large economic and social expenditures, such as hospitalizations [46][47][48] . In the US, each exacerbation costs $88 to $7,757 19 .…”

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries; however, few systematic reviews are available in the literature. This review examines the prevalence of COPD in the Brazilian population. For this purpose, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted of epidemiological observational studies indexed in the databases PubMed, Cochrane, Ovid, Scopus, ScienceDirect, SciELO, Lilacs, and Google Scholar published up to May 2018. The prevalence was estimated using a random effects model. Of the 1,182 articles identified, 12 were eligible. The prevalence of COPD in Brazil was 17% (95%CI: 13-22; I2 = 94%) and the region with the highest prevalence of COPD was the Center-western region (25%), followed by the Southeastern region (23%). The Southern region had the lowest prevalence among the studies (12%). We found that Brazil has a high occurrence of COPD, higher than the estimates of Latin American and world population Hence, additional studies are necessary to support intervention strategies, as well as formulation of specific public health policies to control and prevent COPD.
