RESUMO
Adult disease in an increasingly important public health problem in Brazil. In order to compare adult mortality in Brazil to that in other countries, age-adjusted coefficients for adults aged 30-69 of the States of São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul and of the city of Fortaleza (Ceará State) are compared to those of similarly aged adults in a series of 33, principally European, countries. The Brazilian population coefficients for overall, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular mortality are among the highest of the series; those for ischemic heart disease occupy median positions. These comparisons illustrate the precarious state of adult health in Brazil and, given the growing possibilities of preventing cardiovascular and other non-communicable diseases, help demonstrate the need for preventive programs in Brazil aimed at the major common and lethal diseases of the productive years of life.
