Abstract:

We conducted a descriptive study of time series in order to analyze the mortality rates from breast cancer in two age strata (<60 years and &#8805; 60 years), in areas of the state of Rio de Janeiro (inland metropolitan area, capital and state). The data source was the Mortality Information System. We analyzed mortality rates for four-year periods, between 1996 and 2011, and rate ratios between the two age groups in each area. The trend in annual mortality rates was analyzed with the program JoinPoint and polynomial regression models. The observed rate ratios were 7-8 times higher in women 60 years or older. JoinPoint analyses indicated a linear decline in mortality rates in the state and the capital for the whole population and for women aged 60 and over in the same areas. The polynomial regression models allowed the observation of periods of increasing and decreasing rates and a tendency to stabilization at the end of the period. Despite the declining trend, the magnitude of mortality from breast cancer is still high among women aged 60 and older, and it is important to investigate related factors in this population.
