In recent decades, the Brazilian population rehearses longevity in developed countries, but on the other hand, there remains a dearth of information about how and who dies in old age. However, the quality of information suffers deaths of two recurring problems: underreporting of deaths and failures in completing the appropriate death certificates (MATHIAS et al., 2005). This situation is even more serious for the elderly population. All these phenomena have caused a major impact on the age structure of deaths. Within this context, the decentralization of the health system brought significant changes and major in information systems, both in its operations and in its treatment. The municipalities are the production bases of most of the information currently used by all levels of management of the SUS (Unified Health System), since all data sources in production in the municipality are: Health Units base production, physical capacity, morbidity, mortality, Notary Public, Health Advice. Boards of Health Information System (SIM), which has specific features to collect data on deaths and has nationwide coverage, provides information on the profile of mortality at different levels of SUS, the default document for data entry is the Death Certificate (DO), causing data to be more accurate, reliable and concrete, which allows to detect and track epidemics and trends or risk situations, allowing generate quantitative measures on a particular offense and the speed of growth of a particular event as well as evaluate the effectiveness of control measures, prevention, treatment and health education. In this case it was decided, by a research practice, where the primary concern is to make clear the information collected, analyzed and justified, in order to study the main variables of death among individual above 60 years of age, in the period from 2009 to 2010, in Santa Maria, which is located in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul, with approximately 261.031 inhabitants (IBGE, 2010). The present study was conducted to collect data in Death Information System (SIM) at the local level (in the city) near the sanitary epidemiological where these data are processed, obtained the authorization of the scientific committee of the Department of Health City of Santa Maria and the approval of the Ethics Committee of UFSM were quantified data for causes of death in the elderly as the provision of information provided by the system, and the concern that every collected information represents an important, truthful and current major causes of death among individuals above 60 years of age within the municipality, and subsequently analyzed all data found, elaborating tables, charts and thematic maps using ArcView 9.3, grouping the home addresses by Health Regions as determined by the Municipal Health Secretary. Upon completion of this survey, it is concluded, the vulnerability of the population of Santa Maria over 60 chronic degenerative diseases primarily involving the circulatory system with the following diseases: specified cerebral vascular diseases, stroke and heart disease hypertension with congestive heart failure, calling attention to the emphasis on preventive health programs as one of the mechanisms to support the demand of elderly in the county. The spatial representation of RA, their neighborhoods and Basic Health Units provided an overview of the need to care for people over 60 years by specific area, justifying the action planning and decision making for each specific RA, individualizing about the necessity and how to successfully achieve the population, according to specific areas and not generally. This type of research may provide support to health professionals for planning actions to the health of the elderly.
