Spatiotemporal Trends in Deaths From External Causes in Brazil: 23-Year Ecological and Population-Based Study
Although there was a general reduction in mortality from external causes in Brazil, this trend was not uniform across all regions. The North, Northeast, and Central-West regions showed the highest mortality risks, with men and young adults being the most affected demographic groups. These findings emphasize the need for targeted public health interventions that address the regional and demographic disparities in mortality from external causes.
