Objetives: To investigate mortality and hospitalization due to external causes in elderly residents in the municipality of Belém - PA, between 2019 and 2023.
Study Design: A cross-sectional, descriptive study with a quantitative approach based on secondary data.
Methodology: The study was carried out in the municipality of Belém, which is located in the state of Pará, in the northern region of the country, and has an area of 1,059.466 km². It has a population of 1,506,420 inhabitants, 53.3% of whom are women and 46.7% men. The study is based on secondary data available from the Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS) and the Mortality Information System (SIM/SUS) of the Unified Health System, provided by the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS). The data collected were from hospitalizations and deaths in the municipality of Belém, from January 2019 to December 2023, as these are the last five years with consolidated data in the system.
Results: The profile of the study population was characterized by females (61.3%), aged between 60 and 69 (47.2%), self-declared black/brown (59.5%), admitted as an emergency (89.3%).
Conclusion: The current study showed that in Belém the individuals most affected by external causes are women aged between 60 and 69. In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of hospitalizations stagnated in 2020. As a suggestion, it is hoped that more research will be carried out into the health of the elderly, as a way of encouraging the development of strategies to mitigate the impacts of ageing.
