Resumo: | This study aimed to quantify air pollution impact on morbidity and mortality in the Brazilian urban population using locally generated impact factors. Concentration-response coefficients were used to estimate the number of hospitalizations and deaths attributable to air pollution in seven Brazilian cities. Poisson regression coefficients (beta) were obtained from time-series studies conducted in Brazil. The study included individuals 65 years old and over and children under five. More than 600 deaths a year from respiratory causes in the elderly and 47 in children were attributable to mean air pollution levels, corresponding to 4.9% and 5.5% of all deaths from respiratory causes in these age groups. More than 4,000 hospital admissions for respiratory conditions were also attributable to air pollution. These results quantitatively demonstrate the currently observed contribution of air pollution to mortality and hospitalizations in Brazilian cities. Such assessment is thought to help support the planning of surveillance and control activities for air pollution in these and similar areas. |

Foram utilizados coeficientes de concentração-resposta para estimar os números de internações hospitalares e de óbitos atribuíveis à poluição do ar em sete capitais brasileiras. Foram obtidos coeficientes de Poisson (beta) a partir de estudos de séries temporais realizados no Brasil. Foram incluídos idosos (> 65 anos) e crianças abaixo de cinco anos. Anualmente, mais de 600 óbitos por causas respiratórias entre idosos e 47 em crianças podem ser atribuídos ao nível médio de poluição atmosférica, o que representa 4,9% e 5,5% do total de óbitos por causas respiratórias nesses dois grupos etários, respectivamente. A cada ano, mais de 4 mil internações hospitalares por causas respiratórias também são atribuíveis à poluição do ar. Esses resultados demonstram quantitativamente o impacto atual da poluição atmosférica na mortalidade e hospitalização em cidades brasileiras. Espera-se que o estudo ajude a subsidiar o planejamento de atividades de vigilância e controle da poluição atmosférica, não apenas nessas cidades, como também em outras áreas urbanas semelhantes.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2007-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/3315Reports in Public Health; Vol. 23 No. 16 (2007): Supplement 4Cadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 23 n. 16 (2007): Suplemento 41678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/3315/6703https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/3315/6704Marcilio, IzabelGouveia, Nelsoninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:27:33Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/3315Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:03:50.834280Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true |
