Abstract:

We carried out the health situation analysis in the Legal Amazon through morbidity and mortality indicators and the comparison between intra and inter-state federation of the region and Brazil. Analysis of the health situation, trends, and identification of clusters in the Brazilian Amazon, for the period2010 to 2021, using secondary data available in official health information systems. Circulatory diseases were the main cause of death, representing 23% of deaths. External causes and respiratory diseases contributed 16% and 9% of deaths, respectively; 52.6% of infant deaths occurred in the early neonatal period, and the infant mortality rate remained above the national average. The ratio of maternal mortality was also high and above the national average between 2010 and 2021. The dengue incidence rate remained below the national average with a drop trend of -59.50%. However, rates of Chagas disease, AIDS, Hansen’s disease, American cutaneous leishmaniasis and tuberculosis remained above average rates in the country. The localities in the extremes of the Amazon configured high-risk areas for these events. It was concluded that the population of the Brazilian Amazon faces health challenges. The findings facilitate the identification of territorial priorities for the implementation of actions that impact morbidity and mortality reduction in the region.
