0461/2018 - Histórico social, demográfico e de saúde dos povos indígenas do Estado do Acre. Social history, demographic and health of indigenous peoples of the State of Acre.
A trajetória histórica vivenciada pelos povos indígenas no Brasil coadunou numa complexa situação social que se estende com precariedade e evidentes disparidades traduzidas em pior perfil de pobreza, escolaridade e de saúde em relação a outros segmentos da sociedade nacional. As políticas de saúde direcionadas para os povos indígenas não conseguiram até a atualidade superar as lacunas do cuidado especializado, persistindo a atenção fragmentada e emergencial, manutenção de péssimo quadro de morbimortalidade, iniquidades de acesso aos serviços de saúde, elevada descontinuidade do cuidado, barreiras administrativas e distorções no processo de controle social. O Estado do Acre, localizado na Amazônia Ocidental brasileira, reflete o quadro de maior vulnerabilidade dos povos indígenas da Região Norte, que compartilham piores resultados de saúde quando comparados com o restante do país. O objetivo do presente artigo de revisão narrativa da literatura consiste em caracterizar o histórico dos povos indígenas do Acre, segundo aspectos sociodemográficos, epidemiológicos e de políticas de saúde no contexto brasileiro.

Abstract:
The historical trajectory experienced by Amerindian population in Brazil lead to a complex social situation, which is expressed by a lack of health service access and socioeconomic disparities. Such reality may be observed through a higher level of poverty, lower education level and worse health profile, as compared to other population in Brazil. So far, health policies toward Indian population in Brazil could not overcome the lack of specialized care access; thus, health care for such population is still fragmented and unplanned, with distortions in the process of social control. Therefore, increased morbidity and mortality rates, unequal health care access, lack of continuity of care, and administrative barriers are still seen among Brazilian Indians. The State of Acre, located in the Western Brazilian Amazon, reflects the situation of greater vulnerability of the indigenous peoples of the North Region, who share worse health outcomes when compared with the rest of the country. Thus, the purpose of this narrative review is to characterize the history of the Indian population in Brazil and the State of Acre, according to demographic, epidemiological and health policies.
