Abstract:

Objective. Identify the epidemiological profile of mortality in Brazilian indigenous children under five years of age, through an integrative review. Methods.

Results. Of the 3,229 publications found, 22 were included in the review. Infant mortality ranged15.2/1,000 LB (1995-1999) for the Kayabí ethnic group to 307.7/1,000 LB (2000) for the Hupd\'äh ethnic group. Among the studies that evaluated infant mortality by age components, the post-neonatal period stands out, with proportions that ranged15.2% (1990-1994), for indigenous childrenParaná, to 83.3% (2007-1994). 2008) for Guarani ethnicity.
