Rio de Janeiro - A survey of physicians Fluminense Federal University pointed out that improvements in socioeconomic conditions of the population reduced the death rate from cardiovascular disease , especially in cases of cerebrovascular accident ( CVA) , in at least three states of Brazil : Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul
The research , done by doctors Port Gabriel Soares , Julia Dias Brum , Gláucia Maria Oliveira , Carlos Henrique Klein and Nelson Albuquerque , worked socioeconomic indicators from 1949 and analyzed the mortality DataSUS between the years 1980 and 2008 .
A medical professor at UFRJ and president of the Society of Cardiology of the State of Rio de Janeiro ( SOCERJ ) Gláucia Maria Oliveira , said studies have shown that there is a lag of 30 years between investments of resources in reducing child mortality , increased the years of schooling of the population and improving the GDP , that has on average the effect of reducing cardiovascular mortality .
" There was a very close relationship between the decrease in mortality with improved socioeconomic levels . The fall started from 1980 and then intensified in 2000 , but the benefit comes from the investment that was made back there . There is a discrepancy for the fall mortality not only by ischemic heart disease , and by cerebrovascular diseases as diseases of the circulatory system " , said in an interview to Brazil .
The influence of the investment , according Gláucia will vary among the states that showed search results . " In São Paulo , such as socioeconomic status have better, you see the benefit in one year if the investment. In Rio de Janeiro , which has a lower socioeconomic status , the difference to have the benefit will vary around 20 to 30 years. There was a greater improvement in socioeconomic status from the years 2000 and hopefully in the future we will have a greater decrease in mortality , "he explained .
The survey also revealed that the benefits reach all tracks of society , because there are investments in factors such as falling infant mortality , increase in years of schooling and GDP growth . " When you invest in GDP is invested for everyone . Such is it the advantage . Therefore that mortality falls much and has benefits for all classes . In Rio de Janeiro if investing $ 100 in the economy , has a percentage drop of 1.5 to 2 in ischemic heart disease , but diseases of the circulatory fall to 6 % , "he added .
The president of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology ( SBC ) , Jadelson Andrade , the search result is very important because cardiovascular diseases are still the leading cause of death in Brazil , accounting for more than 300,000 deaths annually .
The research was published in the journal of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology Brazilian Archives of Cardiology .
