RESUMO:

Studies on mortality differentials by education are of great relevance for the management of public health in Brazil. Given the unequal context of demographic and epidemiological transition processes among social strata, the objective of this study is to estimate educational differentials in adult mortality (25-59 years) by major regions, sex and age in 2010. Literature has pointed to an inverse relationship between mortality and schooling, that is, the higher the schooling the lower the risk of the individual dying. In addition, there is evidence that these gradients persist at all ages, are larger among men, decrease with age, and their magnitude differs between large regions. While this theme has been discussed in the United States since the 1960s, in Brazil the first works are from the 2000s. This delay is mainly due to the poor quality of the educational variable of the death certificates registered in the Mortality Information System (SIM). In order to search for evidence on these educational gradients, the microdata of SIM deaths in 2010 (for deaths) and the 2000 and 2010 census microdata (for population quantities) are the data sources of the study. With this, the methodological proposal here is to make two corrections in the data before proceeding with the estimates of educational differentials in mortality. The first is to correct the incompleteness of the variable education through imputation methods. The applied method is multiple imputation and ABB - Approximate Bayesian Bootstrap. The second is the correction of underreporting of deaths. The adjusted SEG method will probably be used to correct only the deaths of lower schooling. Preliminary results in terms of specific mortality rates (without correcting underreporting and without calculating person-years) are in line with the literature. The risk of death is higher among individuals with low schooling compared to those with medium and high schooling. In addition, differentials were higher for men and tended to decrease with age. Another finding is that the differentials are greater for the South and Southeast regions.
