- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Dinâmica demográfica dos Kamaiurá, povo Tupi do Parque Indígena do Xingu, Mato Grosso, Brasil, 1970-1999(Associação Brasileira de Estudos Populacionais, 2008-12-01) Pagliaro, Heloisa [UNIFESP]; Junqueira, Carmen; Mendaña, Luciana Garrido dos Santos; Mendonça, Sofia Beatriz [UNIFESP]; Baruzzi, Roberto Geraldo [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade Católica de São PauloThis article analyzes the demographic dynamics of the Kamaiurá, a people of the Tupi linguistic group, which, together with nine other peoples of the Aruak, Karib, Tupi and Trumai languages, inhabit the Xingu Indigenous Parque, in the northern part of the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The sources of data are medical records and vital statistics from the health program of the Federal University of São Paulo at Xingu Park, reported regularly since 1965. The demographic measurements included are: composition by age and sex, gross fertility rates, total fecundity rates, general death rate, and specific death rate by age and sex, proportional mortality by age and sex, and child mortality rates. The study shows that the Kamaiurá have been in a process of demographic recovery, showing a growth rate of 3.1% per year between 1970 and 1999. High levels of fecundity have contributed to the expansion of new generations of Kamaiurá, guaranteeing the group's physical survival. Relatively low and stable death rates have resulted from improved health conditions, which foster better survival of children, adolescents, adults and the elderly, assuring greater longevity for the population and maintenance of its social organization.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Perfil demográfico dos Hupd'äh, povo Maku da região do Alto Rio Negro, Amazonas (2000-2003)(Associação Brasileira de Estudos Populacionais, 2009-06-01) Machado, Marina; Pagliaro, Heloísa [UNIFESP]; Baruzzi, Roberto Geraldo [UNIFESP]; Organização Não-Governamental Christian Children´s Fund; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)The Hupd'äh are a people of the Maku language who live in the Upper Rio Negro Region in Amazonas, Brazil. Indigenous leaders, anthropologists, missionaries and health professionals all say that this population lives under very precarious conditions of health, with high overall and child mortality rates. On the basis of data derived from the Special Indigenous District of Rio Negro (DSEI-RN, of Funasa/MS), for the period of 2000-2003, a descriptive study was conducted to evaluate the demographic and general profiles of the group The study also had the objective of contributing to the implementation of public policies for them, and for debates in the areas of anthropology, demography and indigenous health. The population of 1,487 individuals in 2003 grew 8.4% per year during the period studied. Composition by age and sex indicates a concentration of young people (44.9% under the age of 15), and a greater percentage of males. The average gross fertility rate (TBN) for the period was 33.4 births per 1000 inhabitants, and total fertility (TFT) was 3.4 children per woman. Mortality rate (TBM) was 10 deaths per 1000 inhabitants and child mortality rate (TMI) was high, 116.3 deaths per 1000 births. More refined processes of collecting information, the high vegetative growth and the intense spatial mobility of the Hupd'äh may explain the high growth rate seen between 2000 and 2003.
