abstract="&quot;Historical data series from the vital registration system of the State of Sao Paulo are used to identify the age-groups where the increase of male surplus mortality has been most intense. In these age-groups, the evolution of the principal causes of death which account for this increase of the sex differential of mortality are analyzed over the past 40 years.&quot; The results show that despite a general decline in mortality, there has been an increase in mortality differentials by sex, particularly between ages 15 and 39. This is primarily due to a decrease in female deaths related to pregnancy and an increase in accidents and homicides among males. (summary in ENG)<p /><p>Language: pt</p>",
