- Abstract
Objective: The present study aimed to characterize the deaths of women of childbearing age due to diseases of the circulatory system, specifically heart disease, from 2017 to 2021 in the state of Piauí. Method: Epidemiological study with a quantitative-descriptive approach. The data were found in DATASUS, tabulated by TABNET referring to cases of hospital morbidity and deaths due to heart disease in the region of the state of Piauí in the period from 2017 to 2021. Results: A higher percentage of deaths of women of childbearing age was observed in three regions health: Entre Rios, Vale do Rio Guaribas and Cocais. In the first, the group of diseases "cerebrovascular diseases" had the highest percentage of deaths, with 33.4%. In the second region, the disease group "ischemic heart disease" had the highest percentage, at 38%. In the Cocais region, the group with the highest incidence of death was "cerebrovascular diseases", with 41%. There was a higher incidence of deaths in the "ischemic heart diseases" and "cerebrovascular diseases" groups. Due to changes in the epidemiological profile, a higher incidence of chronic non-communicable diseases has been observed, with a higher prevalence in developing countries and places of greater vulnerability. Conclusion: the data points to the need to target public gender policies that meet specific demands on chronic non-communicable diseases, given that they are still one of the causes of greatest deaths.
