Abstract

Introduction: external causes are considered a public health problem in the world, associated with socioeconomic, political, and cultural diversities. Among them, traffic accidents stand out.

Objective: to assess the trend in traffic accident mortality for each sex in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.

Methods: ecological study of time series analyses. Secondary data referring to deaths from traffic accidents by place of residence in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, in the period 2009 - 2019 were used.

Results: the total mortality rate in 2019 for females is 39.80 and for males, 185.85, with a reduction of 4.96% per year for both sexes. The trends in mortality from traffic accidents for females proved to be stationary for motorcyclists, motorized tricycle, pickup truck, heavy transport vehicle, and bus occupants at the end of the study period. For males, the same pattern was observed, but only for truck, heavy transport vehicle, and bus occupants. In the rest of the vehicles, the mortality rate showed decreasing trends.

Conclusion: the highest number of deaths occurred among males (81.38%), aged between 20 and 49 years (58.70%), single (49.12%), on public roads (46.73%) and hospitals (45.64%). Females have more stationary trends than males.
