摘要：The Social inequality increases the risk of contagious respiratory diseases. The World Health Organization’s main concern related to respiratory diseases, is the different strains of influenza that can cause pandemics, such as H1N1 in 2009 and COVID-19 in 2020. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the percentages of respiratory diseases (2015-2020) comparing with H1N1 and COVID-19 in brazilian regions. Hospitalizations and deaths data came from the Hospital Information System of the Unified Health System, from the Mortality Information System and from the Ministry of Health, which were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and grouping. The results pointed out that most sensitive age groups to develop some respiratory disease, are children and elderly. Among Brazilian regions, the South region stood out with the highest percentages of hospitalizations due to respiratory diseases in the country, while in deaths, the South and Southeast regions approximate their percentages as well as the North and Northeast regions. However, comparing the same information during the COVID-19 pandemic period, deaths in the Midwest are the most significant. On the other hand, in the H1N1 outbreak, the South region once again shows high percentages.
