In Brazil, there is a regional variation in and mortality by cancer of the mouth. Differences in the distribution of the rate of this type of mortality are attributed to the consumption of cigarettes and alcohol, socioeconomic conditions, diet or genetic characteristics. Aim: To compare the spatial distribution of deaths by cancer of the mouth between the macro-regions of health of the state of Minas Gerais between 2006 and 2013 and identify the formation of agglomerates of deaths by cancer of the mouth. Methodology: This is an ecological study that used the data made available by the System of Information on Mortality (SIM) and based on Chapter 2 of ICD-10. The geographic pattern was built through thematic maps of the distributions of rates mortality, as the macro-regions of health and year. Results: In the period studied 2.263 deaths occurred for cancer of the mouth in Minas Gerais, being, 1751(77,38%) men and 512 (22.62%) women. There was a trend of growth in the rate of mortality from cancer of the mouth in Minas Gerais, mainly for the male gender. You can say that deaths occurred for cancer of the mouth in all macro-regions of the state and that the geographic distribution of these deaths occurred in a heterogeneous way. Conclusion: The highest rate of deaths in men suggest the need of developing programs directed to this population in Minas Gerais Brazilian state.

Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, including 10% of deaths. In addition to death, stroke can cause irreversible paralysis, permanently disabling the patient. Objectives: The present study proposes an analysis of the epidemiological variants that interfere with the number of adult deaths from stroke in the state of Santa Catarina (SC). Design and setting: This is an ecological study, whose area of analysis was the state of Santa Catarina, located in Brazil. The population studied was the group of individuals aged 20 to 59 years old living in the area studied and who died of a stroke (ICD-10 I64) in the period from January 2005 to December 2019. Methods: The data used were obtained from DATASUS. The variables analyzed were: sex, color/race, and region. Results: The present study found a greater predominance of the white race in both sexes in the state of SC with 86% of total deaths. The male gender was higher in all age groups and years analyzed presenting a percentage of 56%, and the female with 44%. The Mountainous and the South regions of Santa Catarina, two less industrialized regions and with the two lowest GDP’s in the state, had the first and third highest prevalence of deaths, respectively 20% and 16%. Conclusions: The state of Santa Catarina showed a higher prevalence of deaths from stroke in the analyzed period in white adults, males, and residents of the Mountainous region and South of the state.

This article presents the results of analysis of the influence of selected economic, legal and environmental factors on the level of transaction prices of unbuilt land properties, in two randomly selected districts of the southern Poland. The results of the research allowed extraction of a group of factors influencing the spatial distribution of the average prices of the surveyed properties. They gave also the answer to the question about the extent to which the unit prices are confirmed by the state of properties management in the region. An analysis of the existing state in the selected region based on the analysis of the local market was performed. Furthermore, the conformity of local plans for the studied areas was examined, as well as an analysis of spatio-temporal distribution of transaction prices of real estate was performed. The research has shown that the level of transaction prices on the local real estate markets is related to the real estate management of the surveyed areas. The state of the economy is affected by many factors, most important of which seems to be the location in relation to urban areas and the condition of the access roads. The undertaken tests correspond with the directions of the world research.

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate socioeconomic and demographic differences regarding population aging in municipalities of the state of Pará, Brazil. Method: Ecological study with secondary demographic, socioeconomic and health data from the 144 municipalities of the state of Pará, Brazil. Data were treated with segmentation analysis, the Mann-Whitney U test and logistic regression models, with a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. Results: Segmentation analysis provided a single variable to describe aging in the municipalities of Pará and originated two clusters, the high and low aging rate ones, with 104 (72.22%) and 40 (27.78%) municipalities in each, respectively. The fitted model revealed an association between aging and per capita income (p = 0.021), vulnerability to poverty (p = 0.003), rich to poor ratio (p = 0.012) and density of people (p = 0.019). Conclusion: There is heterogeneity in the population aging among the municipalities of Pará, mainly regarding socioeconomic conditions and number of people living in the municipalities.

Abstract Purpose To investigate, through a spatio-temporal analysis, the association between the percentages of live births of adolescent mothers (LBAM) and the human development index (HDI), including the three components: income, education and longevity. Methods The percentage of LBAM was obtained from the Brazilian Live Births Information System for the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil in the period 2000–2015 and the HDI data and its components were obtained from United Nations Development Program’s (UNDP) Human Development Reports. A generalized additive model (GAM) was used to estimate the relative risk of LBAM in relation to the HDI and to identify spatial clusters of the geographical distribution of LBAM, the Moran global and local index was used. Results There is an association between the HDI and its components with LBAM. The high values of relative risk are spatially concentrated in the northern part of the state of Minas Gerais. The graphs indicated a nonlinear relationship between LBAM over the years. Conclusions There is a strong spatial dependence of LBAM in Minas Gerais, which suggests that a geographical location plays a fundamental role in understanding it. The regional disparity confirmed in this study is inherent in the process of human development, it is important for planning actions aimed at the development of these regions in order to minimize existing disparities.

To clarify the features of the spatio-temporal distribution of soft rime deposits of the category DP (dangerous phenomena) over the course of the standard climatological norm of 1961-1990 materials of observations of such sediments were analyzed on a standard ice machine at all meteorological stations in Ukraine. The spatial-temporal character of the distribution of such sediments in the territory of Ukraine for each of the studied months of the cold and individual months of the transitional seasons of the year was obtained. Similar work was carried out for each separate decade during the total thirty-year study period. The years and months when such types of ice-rime deposits were the most were revealed, the contribution of each year and month to their total number was calculated. The places and regions of the greatest manifestation of DP category soft rime deposits on the territory of Ukraine during the standard climatological norm of 1961-1990 were established. A number of conclusions were obtained regarding the state of spatio-temporal distribution and the number of deposits of soft rime DP category during 1961-1990 on the territory of Ukraine, namely: – From 1961-1990, the largest number of cases of soft rime deposits of the DP category was observed in January, February and December of the study period. – In most cases, the vast majority of cases of frost deposition of the DP category were observed in the Transcarpathian region on the Play and in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea on the Ai-Petri . – Mostly the number of cases of such deposits at stations was isolated, but in some years and months at a number of stations there was a much larger number of such cases. January-December stands out the most, and among the Play and Ai-Petri stations. – The largest number of cases of soft rime deposits of the DP category was observed in the winter months, especially in January and December. During 1971-1980 and 1981-1990, a significant increase in such cases was observed in November, especially in 1971-1980. In the first decade of the standard climatological norm, this was not observed, the number of cases in March was equal to their number in November. – There is a tendency to increase the number of cases of DP soft rime deposits in December during 1971-1980 and 1981-1990, in contrast to 1961-1970, when the largest number was observed in January. – It is established that most cases of soft rime deposits of the DP category were observed during 1971-1980. – During 1961-1970, in January, cases of soft rime deposits of the DP category were quite common in Ukraine and were observed in 15 regions. The greatest spread of such deposits was observed in January 1964. Subsequently, the area of their distribution was reduced to several areas, of which they were most often observed in Transcarpathia in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Such deposits were quite common in December 1961-1970 and 1981-1990, when they were observed in 5-6 regions.

ABSTRACT Objective: Analyze the spatio-temporal distribution of AIDS cases in Maranhão. Methods: Ecological study of AIDS cases in the Notifiable Diseases Information System, 2011-2018. Gross and adjusted incidences were calculated using the Baysean method; then, the Moran Global and Local Indices to observe the existence of spatial autocorrelation of the cases and for the delimitation of high and low risk clusters. Results: 6,349 cases were reported, which were distributed heterogeneously. There was an advance of cases to new areas and persistence in old areas, such as in the capital São Luís and its surroundings. The dissemination did not occur at random, with positive spatial autocorrelation, with evidence of the formation of clusters in the municipalities of São Luís, São José de Ribamar and Paço do Lumiar. Conclusion: High-risk areas have been identified and should be considered a priority for investment in health, management, and organization of health services.

This study aims to analyze the temporal distribution of human (HVL) and canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) in the state of Paraíba between 2012 and 2017, by Intermediate and Immediate Geographic Region (GR). As an ecological study with a quantitative approach, data were collected in the LACEN PB database; Dra. Telma Lobo Central Public Health Laboratory, Paraíba; and refer to positive cases of HVL and CVL presented in the state in the period under study. Poisson Regression Modeling was used to quantify the average number of cases from one year to another. The results revealed that the immediate GRs of Mamanguape - Rio Tinto, Campina Grande, and Cajazeiras present a statistically significant increasing trend in the average number of HVL cases. The immediate GRs of Campina Grande, Patos, Cuité - Nova Floresta, Itaporanga, and João Pessoa revealed a significant increase in the average number of CVL cases during the period analyzed. The need for reorganization of disease control operations and preventive actions was confirmed, especially in those regions identified with growth.

SUMMARYThis study aimed to investigate the distribution of congenital toxoplasmosis in the state of Minas Gerais, Southeastern Brazil and describe the demographic and socioeconomic profile of the municipalities associated with the disease. An ecological study was conducted using socioeconomic indicators of a database (MGSSRI) created by Fundação João Pinheiro (a government technical support agency of Minas Gerais), in order to show the development of the municipalities in the state. The prevalence of toxoplasmosis was the outcome and the items of the MGSSRI were the explanatory variables. Of 146 307 newborns screened (November 2006 to May 2007), 190 had congenital toxoplasmosis, yielding a prevalence of 1·3/1000, ranging from 0 to 76·9/1000 in the municipalities. The multivariate model indicated a higher occurrence of toxoplasmosis in municipalities with smaller populations and worse indexes of tax performance. Congenital toxoplasmosis appears to be a neglected disease in the state of Minas Gerais, given the high prevalence found and its concentration in municipalities with worse socioeconomic indexes.

Mental and behavioral disorders are influenced by a combination of factors that affect an individual's emotional balance and affect people of all ages, sex and social classes, although each group has its specificities. The present study aims to determine the prevalence of hospitalizations caused by Mental and Behavioral Disorders (CMD), considering an age group, gender and an ICD-10 morbidity list in the State of São Paulo between the years 2017 to 2020. This research was an ecological study on the prevalence of cases of mental and commercial disorders in the State of São Paulo. Data were collected on the DATASUS platform, where the number of admissions according to gender, age and ICD-10 morbidity list in the 2017-2020 period were surveyed. The results obtained revealed a growing increase in CMD cases in the state, especially from 2018 to 2019 with a subsequent fall in 2020, with, from 2017 to 2020, approximately 58.81% prevalence of CMD in sex and approximately 41.19% prevalence in sex female, mainly affecting people aged 30 to 39 years, higher prevalence of mood in females (67.18%) and CMD due to alcohol use in females (87.89%). It is concluded that amidst the pandemic against COVID-19, several patients considered without a diagnosis of Mental and Behavioral Disorders, because of this, it is possible that after the pandemic there are a greater number than expected of patients with more advanced conditions due to the absence of an early diagnosis.
