METHODS: this was a cross-sectional study with 322 women living in the city of Aracaju whose children were born in November and December 2011; data were collected using questionnaires, including number of consultations, technical and laboratory procedures recommended by the Brazilian Ministry of Health (MoH); adequacy of prenatal care was assessed according to MoH criteria; chi-square test was used to compare proportions between categorical variables. RESULTS: prenatal care was considered inadequate for 89.1% of women, with no statistical difference for inadequacy of prenatal care according to family income (p=0.323).

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE To analyze the variation of infant mortality as per condition of life in the urban setting. METHODS Ecological study performed with data regarding registered deaths of children under the age of one who resided in Aracaju, SE, Northeastern Brazil, from 2001 to 2010. Infant mortality inequalities were assessed based on the spatial distribution of the Living Conditions Index for each neighborhood, classified into four strata. The average mortality rates of 2001-2005 and 2006-2010 were compared using the Student's t-test. RESULTS Average infant mortality rates decreased from 25.3 during 2001-2005 to 17.7 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2006-2010. Despite the decrease in the rates in all the strata during that decade, inequality of infant mortality risks increased in neighborhoods with worse living conditions compared with that in areas with better living conditions. CONCLUSIONS Infant mortality rates in Aracaju showed a decline, but with important differences among neighborhoods. The assessment based on a living condition perspective can explain the differences in the risks of infant mortality rates in urban areas, highlighting health inequalities in infant mortality as a multidimensional issue.

OBJETIVO Analisar a variação da mortalidade infantil por condição de vida no meio urbano. MÉTODOS Estudo ecológico realizado com dados de óbitos registrados de menores de um ano, residentes em Aracaju, SE, Nordeste do Brasil, de 2001 a 2010. As desigualdades na mortalidade infantil foram avaliadas pela distribuição espacial do Índice de Condições de Vida estabelecido para os bairros, classificados em quatro estratos. Foram comparadas as taxas de mortalidade infantil médias de 2001 a 2005 e 2006 a 2010 pelo teste t Student. RESULTADOS A taxa de mortalidade infantil média declinou de 25,3 de 2001 a 2005 para 17,7 óbitos/1.000 nascidos vivos, de 2006 a 2010. Apesar da queda nas taxas em todos os estratos na década, a desigualdade no risco de morte infantil aumentou nos bairros com piores condições de vida em relação àqueles de melhores condições. CONCLUSÕES A mortalidade infantil em Aracaju apresentou declínio, mas com importante assimetria entre os bairros. A averiguação sob a ótica das condições de vida pode justificar as diferenças no risco de óbito infantil no espaço urbano, destacando as desigualdades em saúde na mortalidade infantil como fenômeno multidimensional. .

RESUMEN

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: Investigar a epidemiologia dos óbitos por câncer de boca e a distribuição espacial no município de Aracaju, estado de Sergipe, entre 2000 e 2009. Material e 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.
