【 摘 要 】

This article focuses on the AIDS mortality profile as related to socioeconomic and geographic variables, as well as evaluating the impact of deaths from AIDS in the State of Rio de Janeiro. The analysis included all death certificates for residents of the State from 1991-1995, 10,024 of which had AIDS recorded as the primary cause of death. In the 20-49-year age bracket, among individuals who had died of AIDS, the proportion of those with university schooling (14%) and the proportion of single individuals (75%) were greater than the respective proportions for all other causes of death (5.4% and 56.3%). For the population as a whole, the AIDS mortality rate increased from 1991 to 1995, from 20.6/100,000 to 30.2/100,000 for males and from 3.7/100,000 to 7.9/100,000 for females. For the year 1995 in the 20-49-year bracket, considering the 17 groups of causes from the ICD-9, AIDS was the third most common cause of death among men and the fifth most common among women. The proportion of Potential Loss of Life Years up to 65 years as a function of AIDS increased from 1991 to 1995, from 3.4% to 4.7% for men and from 1.4% to 2.9% for women. During this same period there was also an increase in the number of counties in the State of Rio de Janeiro with reported deaths from AIDS.
