RESUMO

The early death is the maximum expression of the problem of violence in a society. Knowledge about their magnitude, the most affected and historical trends can assist in the identification of target audience, generate hypotheses about the impact of interventions implemented, offer better targeting of actions and contribute to its greater effectiveness. This was a descriptive ecological study of time trend of mortality from accidents at work in Brazil. The units of analysis were 27,581 deaths of workers registered with the Ministry of Social Welfare, which occurred in each of the five regions of the country: South, Southeast, Central West, North and Northeast and the reference years, for the period 1998 to 2006. Examined the distribution of mortality by age (16 to 24, 25 to 44, 45 to 59 and 60 years and over), sex (female and male) and economic activity in which they work. In 2006 the MPS total number of 25,671,014 insured individuals. There was the standardization of mortality rates by age by direct method, the population census of 2000, released by the IBGE, as the standard population. In time trend analysis of mortality rates and standardized mortality in five regions of the country was the procedure employed Prais-Winstein for generalized linear regression, from which the estimated parameters of the regression and the correction of first-order autocorrelation. The test allowed evaluating the trends of mortality and mortality were declining, and quantify the rates of annual variations. Among the main results of this study, the fact that deserves emphasis is the reduction of mortality from accidents at work from 2001. We found a standardized mortality rate of 14.9 per 100 thousand in 1998 and 7.7 per 100 thousand, in 2006, showing a reduction in mortality. The trend of decline in standardized mortality rates for accidents at work in the South, Southeast and North was higher than in other regions, following the national average. The Central West and Northeast regions had the highest mortality rates and mortality, with a trend of lower rate of decline. Among the cases of deaths analyzed for the study period, 92.3% (n = 25,456) were male and 7.7% (n = 2,125) were female. The age group most affected was that of 25-44 years, with 16,914 cases (61.3%), and these are precisely the productive and reproductive age population. Though the trend, accidents are still up in the main event morbid among Brazilians in their letter. The death of individuals in full stage production has serious implications for the quality of life for their families and, by extension, to the economy. Knowledge of the causes of occupational deaths characterized the events as preventable or avoidable, triggering actions effective health services to prevent them.
