RESUMO
Abstract INTRODUCTION: To analyze the trend of prostate cancer mortality in the Brazilian population of 40 years of age and above. METHODS: Time series ecological study of the mortality rates due to prostate cancer in men of 40 years of age and above, using data from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 (GBD). Age-standardized mortality rates were calculated, as well as the age-standardized rates by the GBD for the global population, per 100,000 inhabitants, for Brazil and its States, from 1990 to 2019. The annual average percent change (AAPC) was calculated to identify the mortality trends in Brazil, through linear regression using the Joinpoint Regression Program. RESULTS: The standardized rates of prostate cancer mortality in Brazil were 76.89 in 1990 and 74.96 deaths for every 100 thousand men ≥ 40 years of age in 2019, with a stability trend. By age group, it was observed a decreasing trend up to 79 years of age, and an increasing trend as of 80 years of age. The state of Bahia showed the highest increase in mortality in the period (1.2%/year), followed by Maranhão and Pernambuco (1.0 and 0.9%/year). A decrease of prostate cancer mortality was found in the Federal District, Goiás, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Roraima, Santa Catarina, São Paulo, and Sergipe. CONCLUSIONS: In Brazil, the standardized mortality rates show a trend toward stability from 1990 to 2019 and no pattern was observed for the trends according to the Brazilian States.
RESUMO
Introduction: In recent years there has been an increase in the number of AIDS diagnoses in the general population, with a significant growth among elderly individuals. Objective: To analyze the epidemiological situation of AIDS in the elderly population and its temporal trend in the Santa Catarina State. Methods: Ecological study, conducted with the elderly (≥60 years) living in Santa Catarina, who were diagnosed with AIDS and notified in the Brazilian Information System for Notifiable Diseases (SINAN) from 2008 to 2018. The incidence rate according to sex, age group and health macroregion was calculated, as well as the time trend, through linear regression. Race/skin color and scholarity were analyzed by proportion in relation to the total. Results: 1,365 cases were notified from 2008 to 2018. There was an increase in cases from 6,7/100.000 in 2008 to 23,1 in 2018 (1,77% yearly), higher among men aged 60 to 69 and living in the area of Florianópolis. Conclusion: there was an increase in AIDS notifications among the elderly in the state.
Introdução: Nos últimos anos, temse observado um aumento no número de diagnósticos de aids na população em geral, entre eles um crescimento expressivo entre indivíduos idosos. Objetivo: Analisar o panorama epidemiológico da aids em idosos no estado catarinense e a tendência temporal dos casos. Métodos: Estudo ecológico, com idosos (≥60 anos) residentes no estado de Santa Catarina que apresentaram o diagnóstico e a notificação de aids no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação nos anos de 2008 a 2018. Foram calculadas a incidência segundo sexo, faixa etária e macrorregião de saúde de Santa Catarina, bem como a tendência no período, por meio da regressão linear. Para raça/cor e escolaridade, considerouse a proporção das notificações em relação ao total de casos. Resultados: Foram notificados 1.365 casos no período. A incidência aumentou de 6,7/100.000 em 2008 para 23,1 em 2018 (1,77 pontos percentuais ao ano), sendo maior na faixa etária de 60 a 69 anos, entre homens e residentes na macrorregião da Grande Florianópolis. Conclusão: Verificouse crescimento das notificações de aids em idosos no estado de Santa Catarina.
