We present a database on Brazilian spatial, demographic, and socioeconomic characteristics from 1996 to 2020. This database aims for integration and harmonization with epidemiological data from two major studies. It can also be a valuable database for designing and conducting various types of epidemiologic research, such as health inequality studies, ecological studies (mapping and time-trends), and multi-level analysis.
The database gathers official information obtained via open sources from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, the Institute for Applied Economic Research, and the Ministry of Health. It includes 139,153 observations and 26 attributes aggregated by years and policy-relevant geographic units on geocoding of municipality centroids, total population size, child population by age-group, birth and mortality measures, Brazilian Municipal Human Development Index, Gini coefficient, Gross Domestic Product, and sanitation. We automated all data processing and curation in the free and open software R.
本研究呈现了一个涵盖巴西空间、人口和社会经济特征的数据库，时间跨度为 1996 年至 2020 年。该数据库旨在与两项主要研究的流行病学数据进行整合和协调。它也可以作为一个有价值的数据库，用于设计和开展各种类型的流行病学研究，如健康不平等研究、生态研究（制图和时间趋势）以及多层次分析。
该数据库收集了巴西地理和统计局、应用经济研究所和卫生部通过公开资源获得的官方信息。它包括 139153 个观测值和 26 个属性，这些属性按年份和与政策相关的地理单位进行了汇总，地理编码了市中心、总人口规模、按年龄组划分的儿童人口、出生和死亡率指标、巴西市级人类发展指数、基尼系数、国内生产总值和卫生设施等。我们在免费和开放的 R 软件中实现了所有数据处理和管理的自动化。
