Abstract

In the present study, we sought to identify the current health panorama of the Afro-Brazilian population in the period from 2007 to 2021, based on a systematic review study. The nineteen selected studies allowed the creation of two thematic groups: Epidemiological aspects of pathologies in the afro-brazilian people and Health epidemiological aspects of the afro-brazilian women. We identified that some common chronic pathologies are Metabolic Syndrome (Hypertension, DM 2, Obesity) and Chronic Renal Insufficiency; infectocontagious pathologies like HIV/AIDS, tooth decay and Chagas disease; and mental disorders. In addition, smoking during pregnancy and anemia seem to be more prevalent in black women.
