Abstract

This paper examines mortality differentials in Brazil and states between 1980 and 2010, using the Brazilian Ministry of Health Database. We use Modal age at death and measures of mortality compression to analyze regional and gender differences overtime and across regions. We estimate age-specific mortality rates by single ages using two approaches: Wilmoth and colleagues Log-Quad approaches and Topal´s method proposed by Schmertmann and Gonzaga and Schmertmann. Our results show that provincial disparities in mortality in general across regions of the country. Moreover, based on the modal age at death and the interquartile range (IQR) of ages at death. We find that there is a process of compression of mortality with increasing modal age at death.
