Resumo: | This study investigates the demographic and health behavior of the Xavante Indians of Mato Grosso State, Central Brazil. Data covering the period 1999 to 2004 was collected using information from household censuses and vital statistics. In addition to standard demographic analyses, survival analysis was carried out. Results show a young age structure, derived from a combination of high fertility rates (7.7 live births per woman) and declining mortality. Mortality rates, especially infant mortality (97 per thousand), remain very high, surpassing regional and national rates. Natural increase is the main contributing factor to population growth. The annual population growth rate is 4.4%. Results suggest that recent declines in mortality and fertility may be related to transformations in the implementation of basic health care services and internal diversity, the latter of which seems to be associated with local history and sociocultural determinants. |

Os dados foram coletados entre 1999 e 2004, a partir de censos domiciliares e da coleta de estatísticas vitais. Além das análises demográficas, realizou-se análise de sobrevida. Os Xavante apresentam uma estrutura etária jovem, típica de população em fase de recuperação populacional, com alta fecundidade (média de 7,7 nascidos vivos por mulher) e mortalidade em declínio. As taxas de mortalidade, especialmente a infantil (97 por mil), continuam a ser muito elevadas, ultrapassando as taxas regionais e nacionais. O crescimento natural é o principal fator no aumento populacional. A população cresce a uma taxa média de 4,4% ao ano. Argumenta-se que não somente a recente queda da mortalidade, assim como da fecundidade, podem estar relacionadas à implementação do novo sistema de saúde voltado para os povos indígenas no Brasil a partir de 1999. Os Xavante apresentam significativa diversidade demográfica interna, que parece estar associada a histórias de contato e a determinantes socioculturais.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2011-10-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4702Reports in Public Health; Vol. 27 No. 10 (2011): OctoberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 27 n. 10 (2011): Outubro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4702/9597https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4702/9598Souza, Luciene Guimarães deSantos, Ricardo VenturaPagliaro, HeloisaCarvalho, Marilia SáFlowers, Nancy MayCoimbra Jr., Carlos E.
