ABSTRACT

Introduction:

The incidence of oral cancer varies widely in the world, with two thirds of cases diagnosed in developing countries.

Objective:

To investigate the epidemiology of deaths from oral cancer and the spatial distribution in the city of Aracaju in the state of Sergipe between 2000 and 2009. Material and

Method:

Data were collected using the Mortality Information System (MIS) of Aracaju/SE at the DATASUS website and were tabulated using the software TABWIN 3.4. The geographic distribution of deaths by neighborhoods of that city was visualized.

Result:

Of the 78 deaths, 61 (78.2%) were male. The mean age was 64.23 years. Individuals of mixed ethnicity had a higher death frequency (34.6%). Regarding education, the majority of death certificates recorded the option ignored, followed by individuals with 1 to 3 years of study. The anatomical sites most affected were unspecified parts of the mouth (43.6%). The spatial distribution analysis indicated that neighborhoods such as Santos Dumont, Luzia, Atalaia, Santa Maria, Cidade Nova and Industrial had the highest death frequencies.

Conclusion:

Males between the fifth and sixth decades of life of mixed ethnicity, low education and in neighborhoods with low and very low standards of living constitute the epidemiological profile for deaths from oral cancer.

Introdução:

A incidência do câncer de boca varia amplamente no mundo, sendo que dois terços dos casos têm sido diagnosticados em países em desenvolvimento.

Objetivo:

Método:

Os dados foram coletados do Sistema de Informação de Mortalidade (SIM) de Aracaju/SE e no site do DATASUS e foram tabulados através do Tabwin 3.4. Foi realizada a distribuição geográfica dos óbitos por bairros desta cidade.

Resultado:

Dos 78 óbitos, 61 (78,2%) eram do sexo masculino. A média de idade foi 64,23 anos. A maior frequência de óbitos foi em indivíduos de cor parda (34,6%). Quanto à escolaridade, a maioria das declarações de óbito registrou a opção ignorada, seguida de indivíduos com 1 a 3 anos de estudo. Os sítios anatômicos mais acometidos foram partes não especificadas da boca (43,6%). A análise da distribuição espacial mostrou que os bairros Santos Dumont, Luzia, Atalaia, Santa Maria, Cidade Nova e Industrial apresentaram as maiores frequências de óbito.

Conclusão:

O perfil epidemiológico delineado foi de indivíduos do sexo masculino, entre a quinta e sexta décadas de vida, de cor parda, baixa escolaridade e nos bairros com baixa ou muito baixa condição de vida.
