The first line for each region represents the excess mortality rate (number of deaths) by natural causes and the percentage at each group according to sex and age. The second line for each region represents the excess mortality rate (%) according to sex and age groups. The number of expected deaths by natural causes in 2020 was projected according to the data collected from Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (Mortality Information System) of the Brazil between 2015 and 2019. The data on deaths in 2020 were obtained from Portal da Transparência do Registro Civil (Civil Registry Transparency Portal). Both datasets were compiled by the National Council of Health Secretary of Brazil. Excess mortality rate (%) was calculated based on the ratio between excess number of deaths by natural causes and the expected number of deaths by natural causes to date.
