This article aims to report and evaluate the health situation in the municipality of São Mateus, through the study of mortality indicators' evolution from 1980 to 2016. Thus, understanding the influences of these indicators on the population's quality of life, considering the changes the municipality has undergone in recent decades in economic, cultural, social, and structural areas. This article is a comparative descriptive study of São Mateus, in the state of Espírito Santo, regarding the health situation in the years 1980 and 2016. Data collected from SINASC, DATASUS, SIM, and IBGE were used. An improvement in the population's epidemiological profile was found, with a decrease in the overall mortality rate from 4.45 to 4.06. The infant mortality rate also improved over time, with a reduction of 4.53%. There is a clear improvement in the quality of healthcare services when observing the transition from Nelson de Moraes' U-shaped curve in 1980 to a J-shaped curve in 2016. There was an increase in mortality from chronic diseases and a decrease in infectious and parasitic causes as well as unknown causes, indicating an epidemiological transition from preventable deaths to deaths due to the progression of chronic and degenerative diseases.
