TL;DR
Neoplasm mortality increased markedly in Brazil, reflecting population aging, epidemiological transition, regional inequalities, and the need to strengthen prevention, screening, early diagnosis, oncology care, surveillance, equity, and health information.
Abstract
Objective: To analyze neoplasm mortality in Brazil according to temporal trends, diagnostic categories of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), sociodemographic characteristics, place of occurrence, and regional differences from 2010 to 2024. Methods: This was a nationwide ecological time-series study using data from the Mortality Information System (SIM/DATASUS). Deaths classified in the ICD-10 neoplasm chapter (C00–D48) were included and grouped into three five-year periods: 2010–2014, 2015–2019, and 2020–2024. Sex, age group, race/skin color, education, marital status, place of occurrence, macro-region, and main diagnostic categories were analyzed using absolute and relative frequencies and percentage variation. Results: There were 953,873 deaths in 2010–2014, 1,110,039 in 2015–2019, and 1,228,995 in 2020–2024, representing a 28.84% increase. Malignant neoplasms of the bronchi and lungs remained the leading cause of death, followed by breast, prostate, stomach, colon, and pancreatic cancers. Increases were observed for pancreatic, colon, kidney, multiple myeloma, bladder, and breast cancers. Deaths increasingly concentrated among individuals aged 60 years or older, with greater female participation, proportional growth among Black and Brown populations, and fewer missing records. Regionally, the Southeast maintained the highest absolute burden, while the North, Midwest, and Northeast showed the greatest proportional increases. Conclusion: Neoplasm mortality increased markedly in Brazil, reflecting population aging, epidemiological transition, regional inequalities, and the need to strengthen prevention, screening, early diagnosis, oncology care, surveillance, equity, and health information.
Mortality remains high and unequal, requiring cardiovascular prevention, improved stroke care pathways, rehabilitation, and reduction of regional inequities from 2010 to 2024.

Chronic kidney disease mortality increased in Brazil, with ageing of deaths, persistent male excess mortality, an increasing share among Black and Brown individuals, and regional differences from 2010 to 2024.

Objective: To analyze temporal trends in mortality from neurodegenerative diseases in Brazil, according to diagnostic categories of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), sociodemographic characteristics, place of death, and regional distribution from 2010 to 2024. Methods: This was a nationwide ecological time-series study using data from the Mortality Information System (SIM/DATASUS). Deaths whose underlying cause was classified between G10 and G37 of ICD-10 were included. Records with unknown sex were proportionally redistributed. Data were grouped into three five-year periods and analyzed by diagnostic category, sex, age group, race/skin color, education, marital status, place of death, and macro-region, using absolute and relative frequencies and percentage variation. Results: A total of 435,791 deaths from neurodegenerative diseases were recorded, with a 113.00% increase between 2010–2014 and 2020–2024. Alzheimer’s disease (G30) remained the leading cause, accounting for approximately 70% of deaths and increasing by 112.72%. Other degenerative diseases of the nervous system (G31) showed the greatest proportional increase (272.81%), while Parkinson’s disease (G20) remained the second most frequent category. Female predominance, increasing concentration among individuals aged 60 years or older, growth among Black and Brown populations, fewer missing records, hospital predominance, and rising home deaths were observed. Conclusion: Mortality increased markedly, reflecting population aging, diagnostic changes, and regional inequalities.

Changing magnitude and sociodemographic and territorial inequalities reveal changing magnitude and sociodemographic and territorial inequalities, supporting cause-specific prevention, timely diagnosis, comprehensive care, and improved mortality information.

Objective: To analyze the evolution of mortality from systemic arterial hypertension in Brazil according to temporal trends, diagnostic profile, sociodemographic characteristics, and regional distribution from 2010 to 2024. Methods: This was an ecological time-series study using data from the Mortality Information System (SIM). Deaths whose underlying cause was classified in categories I10 to I15 of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), corresponding to hypertensive diseases, were included. Records with unknown sex were proportionally redistributed. Data were grouped into three five-year periods and analyzed by diagnostic category, sex, age group, race/skin color, education, marital status, place of death, and macro-region, using frequencies and percentage variation. Results: A total of 816,407 deaths from hypertensive diseases were recorded, with a 43.83% increase between the first and last five-year periods. Essential hypertension (I10) remained the leading cause, increasing from 49.87% to 56.41%. Hypertensive heart disease (I11) decreased proportionally from 37.75% to 31.83%. Deaths predominated among women, people aged 60 years or older, individuals with low education, and widowed persons. Increases were observed among Black and Brown populations, along with fewer missing records, growth in home deaths, and increases in all macro-regions, especially the South. Conclusion: Mortality from hypertensive diseases increased markedly, reflecting population aging, diagnostic changes, and sociodemographic and regional inequalities.

Cancer mortality in Alagoas is increasing steadily, characterized by premature deaths, geographic concentration, and care displacement, and decentralizing the oncology network, expanding screening for preventable tumors, and strengthening home palliative care are priority actions to reduce mortality.
