"In order to evaluate mortality trends in adults aged 30-69 years in the State of Rio Grande do Sul [Brazil], changes in age-standardized mortality from 1970 to 1985 were calculated and compared with trends of 33 other countries. Virtual stability in Rio Grande do Sul over this 16-year period contrasts with dramatic reduction in age-standardized all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in many countries.... The data demonstrate that major declines in adult mortality can be achieved, and suggest that, during the period 1970-1985, Rio Grande do Sul participated little in the international tendency toward improved adult health." (SUMMARY IN POR)
为评估巴西南里奥格兰德州30至69岁成年人的死亡率趋势，计算了1970年至1985年年龄标准化死亡率的变化，并与其他33个国家的趋势进行了比较。南里奥格兰德州在这16年期间死亡率几乎没有变化，这与许多国家年龄标准化全因死亡率和心血管疾病死亡率的大幅下降形成对比……数据表明，成年人死亡率可大幅下降，这也表明，在1970年至1985年期间，南里奥格兰德州在改善成年人健康的国际趋势中贡献甚微。 （葡萄牙语摘要）
