Abstract

Objetivo: Este estudo descritivo teve como objetivo analisar a mortalidade por doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) em mulheres pretas no Brasil no período de 2011 a 2021. Métodos: Utilizou-se uma abordagem quantitativa, com dados secundários do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM) do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS), referentes à mortalidade por doenças do aparelho circulatório. A análise foi realizada por cor/raça, faixa etária e sexo. Resultados: O estudo revelou que as DCV representam uma proporção significativamente maior das causas de morte em mulheres pretas em comparação com outras etnias, ocorrendo em faixas etárias mais jovens. Conclusão: Este estudo revelou que as DCV representam uma proporção significativamente maior das causas de mortalidade entre as mulheres pretas em comparação com as demais. Essa diferença é particularmente notável em faixas etárias mais jovens, o que faz questionar a qualidade de prevenção, diagnóstico e manejo dessas doenças crônicas na população analisada.
