Abstract

The objective in this study was to describe the mortality of the male population in the age range from 20 to 59 years in Cuiabá/Mato Grosso between 2002 and 2012, according to the sociodemographic conditions, group of causes, occurrence and assistance to death. Ecological study, consisting of 6,050 death records of men between 20 and 59 years of age, living in Cuiabá/Mato Grosso. Descriptive analysis with absolute and relative frequencies was applied and the standardized mortality coefficients were calculated. It was verified that the single, mulatto men between 20 and 49 years of age with less than 11 years of education die due to problems related to External Causes, Diseases of the Circulatory Apparatus and Malign Neoplasms. In view of the higher frequency of male deaths due to avoidable causes, the importance of investing in health promotion and disease prevention in primary health care is highlighted. The low quality of the records was evidenced, due to incompleteness of the available data.
