摘要：

Objective To analyze time trends in infant mortality in Brazil during a recent period of economic crisis (1980-1998). Methods Time-series study based on the Ministry of Health Mortality Information System, IBGE Foundation and Funda do Nacional de Saude (National Health Institute database. Serial parameters were described using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models, and the association between infant mortality rates and a number of determinants was evaluated using Spearman correlation coefficients. Results: Infant mortality showed a declining trend (-59.3%) and a strong correlation with most of the indicators analyzed. However only correlations between infant mortality rate and totalpregnancy and birthrates presented a significant difference between the two decades. Conclusions Variations in pregnancy rate were the main causefor the persistent decline in infant mortality in the 1980. In the subsequent period, causes related to living conditions, especially healthcare, may have been more important.
