PURPOSE: To describe the mortality of @entity0 in Brazil according to color, in the years 2000 and 2010. METHODS: A descriptive study in which demographic data were obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The @entity0 death information in Brazil was collected from the Ministry of Health through the Mortality Information System (SIM). The crude mortality rates for @entity0 were calculated according to color and age group, up to 49 years and >= 50 years. The results obtained were distributed into five geographical regions of the country (North, Northeast, Midwest, South and Southeast). RESULTS: In Brazil, in @entity1 aged 50 or more, the highest crude mortality rates of @entity0 in 2000 were 62.6/100,000, 46.0/100,000 and 29.7/100,000 among yellow, @entity62 @entity1 , respectively. In @entity1 under 50 years in 2000, the crude mortality ranged from 2.0/100,000 among indigenous @entity1 to 6.8/100,000 among white @entity1 . After ten years, in @entity1 over 50 years, the crude mortality rate among yellow, @entity62 @entity1 was 21.5, 53.2 and 40.4 per 100,000, respectively. In the country's regions, the highest mortality rates of @entity0 were observed in @entity62 @entity1 from the South and Southeast. In the Northeast, mortality rates in black and brown @entity1 doubled in 2010. CONCLUSION: @entity0 mortality rates show ethnic and geographical variations. However, it is not possible to exclude the possibility that large variations have occurred as a result of improvement in the quality of information on mortality in the country.
