亚马逊地区的森林火灾是一个严重的环境问题。很少有研究涉及森林火灾对受影响人口健康的影响。本文旨在研究1998年至2005年期间朗州老年人呼吸道疾病死亡率的趋势，并与火灾焦点的数量相关。这是一种描述性的生态研究类型。从死亡率信息系统获得了死亡证明，通过国家空间研究所公开提供的在线数据库获得了火灾焦点数据登记册。结果显示，65岁以上老年人呼吸系统疾病和慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）的死亡率呈增长趋势，热病灶数量也呈增长趋势。火灾焦点的数量与呼吸道疾病和COPD的死亡率之间存在正相关性，这解释了研究地区老年人疾病死亡的50%至80%。这些结果表明森林火灾问题的严重性以及对人口呼吸系统健康的影响，主要是对老年人死亡率的影响。
The forest fires in the Amazon region have been a serious environmental problem. Few studies relate the effects of forest fires on the health of exposed populations. This article aims to study the trend of mortality from respiratory diseases in the elderly, in the period 1998 to 2005, in the state of Rondonia and to correlate with the number of fire focuses. This is a descriptive study of the type of ecological. The death certificates were obtained from the Mortality Information System and the registers of data on the focus of fire have been obtained through online database available publicly in the National Space Research Institute. The results had shown a trend of growth in mortality rates for respiratory disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) among elderly over 65 years and also a growing trend in the number of focus of heat. There was a positive and significant correlation between the number of fire focuses and mortality rates respiratory diseases and COPD, which explains around 50% to 80% of deaths by diseases in the elderly in the region studied. These results demonstrate the gravity of the problem of forest fires and the impact on respiratory health of the population, mainly on mortality in the elderly.
