Abstract:

We analyze the mortality, hospitalization and emergency room visits for assault in Brazil, from 1996 to 2007. The data sources are the Mortality Information System / SIM, the Hospital Information System / SIH and Surveillance System of Violence and Injuries / VIVA, the Ministry of Health. It was focused on the male and the range of 15 to 29 years, and other variables related to the victim, the aggressor and the event. The relation man / woman are 11.6 times higher at mortality, 4.5 times at hospitalization and 2.8 times at hospital emergency management. In 2007 the rate of men 15 to 29 years is 92.8 / 100,000 inhabitants. The Southeast and Northeast have the highest incidence and prevalence. We conclude noting that the differential rates of male / female occurs during adolescence, is intensified in early adulthood, and while losing intensity, remains until the end of life. We resort to cultural models of gender, and socio structural to explain such marked differences.
