Abstract
referring to macro-regions of health, race, education, age group, gender and marital status. Data from 1,167 cases of death due to drowning in waters of the Amazonas natural river basin were included in the analyses, 88% of which were male, with a higher prevalence in the 20 to 29-year-old age group (20%), mixed race (77%) and singles (67%) with 4 to 7 years of education (29%), mainly in the Central health macro-region (65%). The study brought to light a notable and worrying finding: men aged 20 to 29 years had a higher prevalence of deaths due to drowning than children under 10 years of age. This result signals the need for a reassessment of public prevention and health education strategies, especially when considering that adult individuals must be more responsible and aware of their capabilities
