Abstract
TORRES, Karla Dala Paula; CUNHA, Geraldo Marcelo and VALENTE, Joaquim Gonçalves. Trends in mortality from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre, Brazil, 1980-2014. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.3, e2017139. Epub Aug 31, 2018. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/s1679-49742018000300013.
Objective:
to analyze age-period-cohort (APC) effects on mortality from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the municipalities of Porto Alegre, RS, and Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil, between 1980 and 2014.
Methods:
this was a time series study using corrected Mortality Information System (SIM) data; APC effects were estimated by Poisson regression, in relation to the 1935 cohort.
Results:
relative risk (RR) of death due to COPD for males decreased in the most recent birth cohort (1970-1974) in Porto Alegre (RR=0.39; 95%CI 0.32;0.48) and Rio de Janeiro (RR=0.42; 95%CI 0.38;0.48); while among women an increase in risk of death due to COPD was observed in Rio de Janeiro in more recent cohorts (RR=1.41; 95%CI 1.20;1.67).
Conclusion:
risk of death due to COPD decreased among men, while risk among women in Rio de Janeiro increased.
