Objectives:
to analyze colorectal cancer mortality trends in women in Brazil and its regions and states.
Methods:
ecological, time-series study with trend analysis of deaths caused by colorectal cancer in women in Brazil and its regions and states between 2008 and 2019. Polynomial regression was used to treat the data.
Results:
48,225 deaths of women caused by colorectal cancer were examined. There was an increasing mortality trend in Brazilian women, with regional differences that resulted from socioeconomic, political, and cultural inequalities. The South Region stood out with the highest rate (7.32) in 2008, which increased to 8.65 in 2019, followed by the Southeast Region, whose rates were 6.72 and 9.05 in 2008 and 2019, respectively.
Conclusions:
colorectal cancer mortality increased, which indicates the need to expand public policies oriented toward screening and early diagnosis of colorectal cancer in women.

Objective:
To describe the epidemiological characteristics of suicide mortality in the state of Pernambuco, from 1996 to 2015.
Method:
Study with data from the Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade. The simple linear regression model was used to verify the trend in the period analyzed.
Results:
There were 6,229 suicides, of which 3,390 (54.4%) occurred in the second decade of study. The mortality rate was 4.7 per 100,000 inhabitants. The temporal trend presented a decrease of 23.5% (p=0.031). For the male sex and the age range between 20 and 39 years, there was a decline in self-inflicted death of 23.8% (p=0.018) and 26.1% (p=0.046), respectively.
Conclusion:
The temporal analysis revealed a reduction in suicide mortality coefficients. This observation may contribute to better targeting of health interventions, optimizing resources and efforts, especially in suicide prevention.
