Epidemiologia de dengue em goiás: sobre os fatores epidemiológicos e sazonais na cidade de Águas Lindas de Goiás

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the epidemiological behavior of dengue fever in the state of Goiás, with emphasis on the municipality of Águas Lindas, from 2014 to 2024. The research was based on a review of the scientific literature available on the Google Scholar, SciELO and CAPES Journals platforms, in addition to the quantitative analysis of epidemiological data extracted from the DATASUS system. Variables such as seasonality, distribution by sex, age group and declared race/color were addressed, in order to understand the main factors associated with the spread of the disease. The results indicated striking seasonal patterns, with peaks between the months of February and April, higher prevalence in women and adults of working age, in addition to significant underreporting in ethnic-racial variables. The analyses demonstrate the relevance of integrated and contextualized strategies to combat dengue fever, which consider environmental, social and demographic factors.
