The medical-dermatological demographics favors health planning and guides expansion of the specialty. We conducted an ecological study of dermatologists members of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology (SBD). We evaluated: gender, age, address; which were compared with population and human development index indicators of municipalities. We evaluated 8384 members, distributed in 527 (9.5%) municipalities throughout Brazil. The female sex represented 78.4% of the members and the median age was 43 (36-54) years. The median density of dermatologists was 0.35 (0.21-0.37) per 10,000 inhabitants. The correlation (Spearman's rho) between density of dermatologists and human development index was 0.39 (p <0.01). The Brazilian dermatologist is characterized as: female, age <50 years and presenting an heterogeneous distribution throught the country.
医学皮肤病学的人口统计学特征有利于卫生规划，并为该专业的扩展提供指导。我们对巴西皮肤病学会（SBD）的皮肤科医生成员进行了一项生态学研究。我们评估了：性别、年龄、地址；并将其与各城市的人口和人类发展指数指标进行比较。我们评估了8384名成员，分布在巴西527个（9.5%）城市。女性占成员的78.4%，中位年龄为43（36-54）岁。皮肤科医生的中位密度为每10000居民0.35（0.21-0.37）人。皮肤科医生密度与人类发展指数之间的相关性（Spearman秩相关系数）为0.39（p<0.01）。巴西皮肤科医生的特点是：女性、年龄<50岁，且在全国分布不均。
