Abstract

The study aimed to investigate ethnic/racial disparities in COVID-19 mortality in Brazilian federative units and their respective capitals in 2020. Population data and number of COVID-19 deaths were extracted by skin color (white, black, brown and indigenous) from all Brazilian states and their respective capitals. The mortality rate of COVID-19 by ethnicity in Brazilian states was higher between people from brown skin color, followed by indigenous and black. Only in one state, in the Federal District and in the federal capital, age-standardized mortality rates were higher among white's people. There is a high percentage of deaths from COVID-19 higher than expected among non-white individuals, especially in south-central states and capitals of the country. Mortality from COVID-19 affect ethnic-racial groups unevenly in Brazil and the number of excess deaths among non-whites was over 9000. Urgent government measures are needed to reduce the racial disparity in health indicators in Brazil.

2019冠状病毒病死亡率的族裔/种族差异:巴西2020年数据

该研究旨在调查2020年巴西联邦单位及其各自首都COVID-19死亡率的种族/种族差异。按肤色(白色、黑色、棕色和土著)从巴西所有州及其首府提取了COVID-19死亡人数和人口数据。在巴西各州，按种族划分的COVID-19死亡率在棕色皮肤人群中较高，其次是土著和黑人。只有在一个州，即联邦区和联邦首都，白人的年龄标准化死亡率高于白人。在非白人人群中，特别是在中南部各州和该国首都，COVID-19的死亡率高于预期。在巴西，COVID-19的死亡率对少数族裔群体的影响并不均衡，非白人的超额死亡人数超过9000人。政府需要采取紧急措施，减少巴西在健康指标方面的种族差异。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
