Estudo descritivo de série temporal que objetivou avaliar a mortalidade por causas externas em homens residentes em Minas Gerais, no período de 1999 a 2008, identificando o comportamento desse grupamento de causas ao longo da série temporal. Os dados foram obtidos a partir do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade e as informações relativas à população masculina residente no estado de Minas Gerais, do Departamento de Informática do SUS. Calculou-se taxas de mortalidade por 100 000 habitantes, sendo divididas por faixa etária e causa específica. Utilizou-se o modelo de regressão linear simples para verificar a tendência dos óbitos masculinos no período estudado. Constatou-se um incremento da mortalidade masculina em todos os anos do período estudado, passando de 82,7 óbitos/100 000, em 1999, para 95,7 óbitos/100 000, em 2008, representando aumento de 15,7% no risco de morte por causas externas. Os adultos jovens (20 a 39 anos) foram os mais acometidos pelas causas externas. Em relação aos acidentes de transporte, nota-se aumento dos coeficientes de mortalidade, principalmente entre 2000 a 2007. Houve elevação das taxas de suicídio e homicídio. É necessária a adoção de medidas preventivas, pois os homens estão sujeitos às causas externas, no sentido de contribuir para a inserção de alguns aspectos específicos nos programas educativos voltados para a sua prevenção.

Abstract:
A descriptive study of series that aimed to assess mortality from external causes in resident men of Minas Gerais, in the period 1999 to 2008, identifying the behavior of this group of causes throughout the series. Data were obtained from the Mortality Information System and male resident population in Minas Gerais was obtained from the SUS Departament. We calculated mortality rates per 100 000 inhabitants, divided by age group and specific cause. We used simple linear regression model to check the tendency of male deaths during the study period. It was found an increase in male mortality in all years of the study period, passing from 82.7 deaths/100 000 in 1999 to 95.7 deaths/100 000 in 2008, representing a 15.7% increase in risk of death from external causes. Young adults (20-39 years) were more affected by external causes. In relation to traffic accidents, there is increased of mortality rates, especially between 2000 to 2007. The rates of suicide and homicide also elevated in the period. In conclusion, it is necessary to adopt preventive measures, because men are subject to external causes, in order to contribute to the inclusion of specific aspects of the educational programs for its prevention.
