RESUMO:
Differences in health outcomes among different population groups are revealed by several academic studies and government reports, and are not new. Nevertheless, the theme of social inequalities is the object of a recurrent study in the different areas of knowledge, perhaps due to the expansion of these inequalities over the years. In Brazil, despite the reduction in inequalities in the last decades, there is an immense inequality and there is a clear distinction between health indicators between north-south of the country, mortality among blacks and whites, and sickness among the poorest and the most affluent. In view of this, this study proposes to describe the inequality in health in a Brazilian capital and, also, to propose an index that is composed of health and socioeconomic indicators. Descriptive analyzes consisted of comparing the average of years lived between the districts of the city of Natal-NR, as well as the means of the potential years of life lost. The creation of the Index of Inequality and Vulnerability in Health (IDVS), in turn, sought to contemplate the data of the census tracts, whose area is smaller than a neighborhood, allowing to discriminate even better the inequality within the territories. The results show that the difference in the average of the years lived between the neighborhoods of Natal-RN reaches 25 years, with the worst neighborhood showing comparable mortality conditions to poor countries in Africa, whereas the neighborhood with the highest average of years lived is similar to the Brazilian average. The results point to a relationship between health outcomes and socioeconomic indicators. For index creation, factorial analysis and cluster analysis were consistent methodological possibilities, and it is not conclusive which is the best option to describe territorial inequalities in smaller units, such as the census tracts.
