Résumé

The objective of the study was to analyze the correlation between the mortality rate from cervical cancer with schooling, Gini index and Human Development Index (HDI). This is an epidemiological, retrospective, observational and ecological study carried out in the 161 intermediate regions of urban articulation in Brazil. The study was based on secondary data from DATASUS and the United Nations Development Program. The spatial analysis of mortality versus schooling, Gini index and HDI was performed. Most municipalities in Brazil with high mortality rate are located in the North and Northeast. In addition, it was observed that schooling, Gini index and HDI directly influence the increase or reduction of mortality. Knowing these fragilities and their distribution in Brazil is necessary to solve the problems and improve the indicators such as the mortality rate.
