Results: There was a progressive increase in mortality rates with increasing age in both genders. Mortality rates were higher in the first triennium (2000-2002), except for cerebrovascular diseases in men aged 20-29 years and ischemic diseases in women in this age group. Conclusion: Given the high number of deaths from cardiovascular diseases in Paraná, with a trend of increased mortality from cerebrovascular diseases in the young male population, nursing activities at the various levels of care should be intensified to fight the risk factors in the referred population.
