abstract: to perform time-trend analysis of homicide and land transport accident (LTA) mortality in Foz do Iguaçu city, Brazil, 2000-2010.
  
  
  
  this was a time series study, using Mortality Information System data on people resident in the city; death rates by sex were calculated and standardized by age; Prais-Winsten regression was used.
  
  
  
  3,459 deaths were recorded in the period (881 owing to LTA and 2,578 owing to homicides); the highest homicide mortality rate was 104.6 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2006, whilst for LTA it was 35.9 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2010; LTA and homicide mortality rates showed stability; higher mortality rates were found in the 20-39 age group.
  
  
  
  the maintenance high homicide and LTA mortality rates point to the need to pay greater attention to these problems.
