This paper aims to analyze the state of the art on the theme of urban environment and health in scientific events in Brazilian Geography between 2008 and 2019. In this sense, the scientific production of the National Meeting of ANPEGE, the Brazilian Symposium on Geographic Climatology, the Brazilian Symposium on Applied Physical Geography, the National Symposium on Urban Geography and the National Symposium on Geomorphology was selected. The methodology consisted of surveying and analyzing the annals of scientific events based on the method of content analysis. Among the results of this analysis, the following stand out: (i) it is observed that the approach to the health-disease process is incipient in the context of the scientific events analyzed; (ii) a diversity is attested regarding the academic training of researchers dedicated to the aforementioned theme; (iii) a heterogeneity of the health problems researched is identified; (iv) it appears that the approach to the socio-environmental conditions of the health-disease process is operationalized from multiple scales of analysis; (v) there is a predominance of studies in cities with medium and large populations; (vi) it is verified that the Southeast and Northeast regions concentrate the largest portion of research (52.4%) on the theme of urban environment and health, considering the current stage of knowledge produced in the context of scientific events.
