Mortality data make it possible to develop indicators to guide the planning of health promotion and prevention actions in order to reduce mortality from preventable causes. However, there are no publications on physicians' mortality in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil.
To describe mortality distribution and potential years of life lost from 2006 to 2015 among physicians who lived in Espírito Santo.
This is a descriptive study of secondary data from the Mortality Information System of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. The distribution of socio-demographic variables and of basic cause of death was studied by absolute and relative frequencies. Potential years of life lost in each death were considered the years remaining from age at death up to the age limit of 70 years.
There were 20 deaths of female physicians (14.5%) and 118 (85.5%) of male physicians, with predominance of whites (87.9%) and married (56%) individuals. The main causes of death were neoplasms (39.1%), diseases of the circulatory system (19.6%), and external causes (19.6%). The majority of female and male deaths occurred from 60 to 69 years, but average death was significantly lower among women compared to men (respectively 58.3 and 67.0 years). Potential years of life lost totaled 1,226 years, with a mean of 14.6, which was greater in women (20.4) compared to men (13.4).
Mortality trends observed in the general population were also present among physicians in Espírito Santo. However, contrary to the general population pattern, average death age was lower in women. Early mortality caused many lost years of life, especially among women.
死亡率数据有助于制定指标，以指导健康促进和预防行动的规划，从而降低可预防原因导致的死亡率。然而，巴西圣埃斯皮里图州尚无关于医生死亡率的出版物。
描述2006年至2015年居住在圣埃斯皮里图州的医生的死亡率分布及潜在寿命损失年数。
这是一项对巴西卫生部死亡率信息系统的二手数据进行的描述性研究。通过绝对频率和相对频率研究社会人口统计学变量及基本死因的分布情况。每例死亡的潜在寿命损失年数被视为从死亡年龄到70岁年龄上限之间剩余的年数。
有20名女医生死亡（14.5%），118名男医生死亡（85.5%），以白人（87.9%）和已婚者（56%）为主。主要死因是肿瘤（39.1%）、循环系统疾病（19.6%）和外部原因（19.6%）。大多数女性和男性死亡发生在60至69岁，但女性的平均死亡年龄明显低于男性（分别为58.3岁和67.0岁）。潜在寿命损失年数总计1226年，平均为14.6年，女性（20.4年）高于男性（13.4年）。
圣埃斯皮里图州医生的死亡率趋势与普通人群中观察到的趋势一致。然而，与普通人群模式相反，女性平均死亡年龄较低。过早死亡导致许多寿命损失年，尤其是在女性中。
