Methods
an ecological, descriptive, retrospective study based on tables from the Brazilian Mortality Information System (SIM), covering ICD-10 category C53 and organized by year, age group, education, and race/color. Absolute frequencies, proportions, and percentage changes were calculated.

67,649 deaths were recorded. The annual number rose by 26.2%, from 5,847 in 2016 to 7,377 in 2025, peaking at 7,493 in 2024. Women aged 40-69 accounted for 60.7% of deaths, with the largest share at ages 50-59 (21.0%). Among records with known education, 64.4% concerned women with up to seven years of schooling. Brown and Black categories represented 56.3% of all deaths and 57.6% of records with known race/color.
