Cardiovascular disease<b>s</b> mortality in Brazilian municipalities: estimates from the <b>G</b>lobal <b>B</b>urden of <b>D</b>isease study, 2000-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have decreased in Brazil in the last decades due to better control of risk factors and access to healthcare. However, how this reduction is distributed across the country's municipalities is unknown. We aimed to evaluate changes in CVD mortality rates across Brazilian municipalities from 2000 to 2018 using estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study.

Methods

In this ecological study, ASMR for CVD were estimated using GBD methodology for 5564 Brazilian municipalities from 5 regions in the triennials: 2000-2002, 2009-2011, 2016-2018. A visuospatial analysis was applied to create clusters in ASMR with Moran Local analysis. Municipalities were stratified by population size in <30,000
