| Abstract | |
The sócio-spatial inequality is a distinctive feature of Brazil that expresses itself in different forms, such as access to education, health, politics or the availability of income and material goods. These inequalities often are crucial to limit the opportunities of individuals to a long life, healthy and productive. In Brazil there is a high number of deaths that occur early, reducing life expectancy and impacting negatively on human development. This work aims to study the pattern of mortality from external causes in the region along Brazil between the years 2000 and 2005, approach the impact on human development, for determining geographic, , demographic, socioeconomic and time. To characterize mortality was stratified by sex, age and aggregate into regions and subregions, using the General Mortality Rate-GMR, Specific Mortality Rate-SMR, Proportional Mortality Ratio and Potencial years of Life Lost-PYLL, to measure the impact of mortality from external causes in human development, the value of lost production Gross-LPG and the Human Development Index-HDI. Methods: This descriptive study of the ecological type, considered as units information the 588 municipalities in the border area, grouped into three regions and 19 subregions. Data for mortality form chapter XX of ICD-10 were obtained from the Mortality Information System -SIM for the underlying causes ranked among V01 and Y34, selected by city of residence. The population of the municipalities and projections in five year intervals, were obtained from the ministry of health / DATASUS The data on GDP were obtained from the municipal site of IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics). Data on education were obtained from the Ministry of Education. The geo-referenced vector maps of Brazil were obtained from the IBGE\'s website and related to non spatial data in Geographic Information Systems-Gis for the production of cartographic representations. To represent the context in which it appears the subject studied were calculated mortality rates and development. Results: The causes of deaths most often were those related to violence and accidents, represented by the assault (firearms and sharp objects / piercing), transport accidents, self harm and accidental drowning and submersion, mostly males between 20 and 49 years. The exclusion of external causes of calculating the HDI showed negligible impact on the classification of subregions, but with average annual income related to longevity reached 4.5% in the North reduces gradually toward the South.
