This study aims to evaluate the temporal pattern of mortality from aggression in the state of Ceará from 2006 to 2020. This is an ecological time series study on mortality from aggression in the state of Ceará, 2006 to 2020. The data were collected from the Mortality Information System.

There were 50,651 deaths in the entire period in the state of Ceará. The average mortality rate for both sexes was 13.99 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants (SD=20.14), males 26.77 deaths per 100,000 males (SD=38.54) and females with 1. 88 (SD=2.79).
