This study was analyzes the tuberculosis mortality trend in adults, by gender, from 1996 to 2018, in ten Brazilian capitals. A time series ecological study was conducted based on data obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the Mortality Information System (SIM). Mortality rates for respiratory tuberculosis in adults, per 1000,000 inhabitants, were calculated and standardized by age and gender (male, female, and both) using the direct method. Mortality time trend was analyzed using the Prais-Winsten regression method. Recife, Rio de Janeiro and Salvador showed the highest average mortality rates in the period. The ratio of average mortality rates by gender was higher among men. The trend in tuberculosis mortality was downward and significant for all capitals among men, women, and the total population, except for Fortaleza. Curitiba had the highest annual percentage drop. Despite the decreasing mortality rates observed in adults for most capitals, they remain expressive and even presented a stationary behavior in Fortaleza, among the general population and men.
