Premature mortality due to non-communicable diseases in Brazilian municipalities estimated for the three-year periods of 2010 to 2012 and 2015 to 2017

ABSTRACT: Objective: To estimate premature mortality due to noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in Brazilian municipalities. Methods: This ecological study estimated rates cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory cancer and diabetes municipalities, for the three-year periods of 2010 2012 2015 2017, it analyzed spatial temporal distribution these rates. Data treatment combined proportional redistribution missing data ill-defined causes, application coefficients under-registration correction. The local empirical Bayesian estimator was used calculate municipal Results: Rates set decreased Brazil between periods. mean total NCDs declined South, Southeast Central-West regions, remained stable North increased Northeast. Mortality were highest all regions but showed greatest declines Cancers second leading cause death. Northeast stood out as having showing 2017 period. Conclusion: Spatial differed municipalities evaluated. South had deaths well diabetes. cancer. There an increase rate Central-West.
