          Abstract

          Estudo realizado para determinar e analisar os anos potenciais de vida perdidos (APVP) das principais causas de óbitos, segundo sexo e idade, em Fortaleza, em 1978-80. Os óbitos foram distribuídos segundo causa, sexo e idade. A técnica adotada para os APVP foi a sugerida por Romeder e McWhinnie, tendo sido definida a idade limite de vida potencial em 65 anos. Os resultados mostraram que o total de APVP foi 197.942,5, nos homens, e 137.545, nas mulheres, correspondendo a taxas de APVP de 119,82 por 1.000 homens e 73,06 por 1.000 mulheres, e que as violências, com 41,15 por 1.000 homens e 8,46 por 1.000 mulheres, foram as maiores responsáveis pelos APVP, nos dois sexos, arcando com 34,35% dos APVP no masculino e 11,57% no feminino. Em ordem de importância em APVP, as principais causas foram as violências, as doenças infecciosas intestinais, as outras doenças do aparelho respiratório, as doenças do aparelho digestivo e o câncer, nos homens, e as violências, as doenças do aparelho respiratório, o câncer, as doenças infecciosas intestinais e as doenças cerebrovasculares, nas mulheres. Foi ressaltada a importância da utilização da metodologia dos APVP para o planejamento em saúde, como instrumento de orientação à hierarquização de prioridades.

          The aim of this study was to determine and analyse the potential years of life lost (PYLL) of the principal causes of death, by sex and age, in Fortaleza, in 1978-80. Death certificates of the period 1978-80, were classified according to cause, sex and age. The technique adopted for PYLL was the one suggested by Romeder and McWhinnie, the age limit of potential life being established at 65. The results showed that the total of PYLL was 197,942.5 for males, and 137,545 for females, corresponding to rates of PYLL of 119.82 per 1,000 men and 73.06 per 1,000 women, and that violent deaths, with 41.15 per 1,000 men and 8.46 per 1,000 women, were the main contributory factor in PYLL in both sexes accounting for 34.35% of male and 11.57% of female PYLL. By order of importance in PYLL the principal causes were violence, infectious intestinal diseases, diseases of the respiratory system, and cancer, in males, and violence, diseases of the respiratory system, cancer, infectious intestinal diseases and cerebrovascular diseases, in females.
