| Popis: | METHODS: This is an ecological study that aimed to understand the behaviour of deaths from external causes in the population older than 60 years old in all Brazilian states. The data was collected using the Brazilian Mortality Information System and the population data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and from the SUS Informatics Department organized in historic series from 1995 to 2010. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: It is not possible to deny that deaths from external causes in elder citizens is not in an increasing and statistically significant tendency in most Brazilian states. This brings preoccupation about the issue, since discussions on the subjects are limited in the country, which makes this study good for future references in the field. |
