Análise histórica dos diferenciais de mortalidade por sexo e mesorregiões da Paraíba, 1980 – 2010

Abstract

The mortality differentials of a population can be analyzed taking into consideration their schooling, their income, sex or other variables. In this context, the present work aims to analyze the gender and mesoregion mortality differentials of Paraíba, in 1980 - 2010. The necessary data on the mortality of the 4 mesoregions of Paraíba were collected from the electronic address of the Department of Informatics of the Single System (DATASUS) in the years 1980-2010. The Specific Mortality Rates (TEM) will be calculated to analyze the mortality pattern by age group. Mortality levels can be compared through the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and life expectancy. The IMR showed a very significant fall between the years 2000 and 2010. The female life expectancy was higher in all the years and in all the analyzed mesoregions. In most of the years and mesoregions this life expectancy has grown over the years. Total TEM analysis showed high levels at the earliest ages in all mesoregions in the year 1980. These levels have been declining over the years. MET Total in the age group 15 to 39 years increased over the years.
