O objetivo foi descrever a mortalidade entre idosos em Araraquara-SP, no período de 2006 a 2011. Estudo epidemiológico descritivo, tendo como fontes de dados o Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade e a Fundação Sistema Estadual de Análise de Dados. Foi calculada razão entre coeficientes de mortalidade por ponto (R) e por intervalo de 95% de confiança (IC95%). Observou-se mais de 60% dos idosos com nível baixo de escolaridade, sendo que 76% faleceram em hospitais. Entre 2006 e 2008, as diferenças foram estatisticamente significantes entre homens e mulheres, predominando as doenças circulatórias com R=1,41 (IC95%:1,24-1,58), respiratórias com R=1,49 (IC95%:1,22-1,76) e neoplasias com R=1,79 (IC95%: 1,40-2,18). Entre 2009 e 2011, obteve-se, para as causas circulatórias R=1,18 (IC95%:1,03-1,33), sendo significativas as diferenças para as respiratórias com R=1,33 (IC95%:1,11-1,55) e câncer sendo R=1,94 (IC95%:1,53-2,35). O diabetes mellitus e as causas externas apareceram, respectivamente, como quarta e quinta causas de mortes mais frequentes na população idosa. O padrão de mortalidade encontrado ressalta a importância de ações voltadas à redução das principais causas de morte, como o incremento da cobertura da vacina contra a influenza e o controle da hipertensão arterial e do diabetes mellitus.

For the period 2009-2011, according to circulatory diseases, the ratio was R=1.18 (IC95%:1.03-1.33)], and the difference was significant for the respiratory and cancer diseases, as R=1.33 (IC95%:1.11-1.55), and R=1.94 (IC95%:1.53-2.35), respectively.
