Spatial distribution of mortality in Maringá, state of Paraná, in 1996
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to perceive the spatial distribution of mortality due to three main causes of death in Maringá, state of Paraná, in 1996. The deaths, which took place in the neighborhoods, were arranged according to their corresponding fiscal zone. To calculate the mortality coefficients per 100.000 inhabitants, deaths per fiscal zone and respective population were taken into consideration. The three main causes of death to which this study refers were cardiovascular diseases, neoplasm and external causes. It was observed that the deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases and neoplasm were concentrated in the central areas of the city, and the ones due to external causes were concentrated in intermediary areas and the outskirts. Therefore, it was verified that the spatial distribution of the three main causes of death in Maringa presented some differences when analyzed in their specificity. However, there is a need to prevention of these three main causes, which should be prioritized in health serviceDownloads
