RESUMO

There is a demographic scenery for the State of São Paulo (Brazil) characterized by population ageing and an increasing rate of death, among this population, caused by malignant neoplasms. Based on these findings, this study intends to investigate the relation between socioeconomics and demographic pointers and mortality by malignant neoplasms ? uterine cervical, feminine breast and prostate ? among the aged population of the State of São Paulo and its health regional services during the year of 2000. Presuming that the socioeconomics inequalities are expressed in the mortality rates by malignant neoplasms among aged people, it was elected as variables to compose the socioeconomic profiles, schooling and per capita domicile income. The reference categories are determined as functional illiteracy and the income of 5 minimal salaries or above per capita. The State of São Paulo is divided by the ?regional health services? (DIR) and the aged population by sex in 5-aged groups. The census years which helps to understand the time evolution are 1980, 1991 and 2000. Through descriptive analysis as well as linear models adjusts, the results suggest that: (1) there is a significative increase in the mortality rates by malignant neoplasms among the eldest and this tendency does not present a homogeneity aspect among the DIR?s; (2) the rate of mortality due to feminine breast and prostata cancers is, unexpectedly, higher in the more developed regions; (3) in areas with health centers of high complexity for cancer treatment, the same tendency occurs, i.e. the highest levels of deaths as a consequence of neoplasms in aged population were observed
