We used the "measure of the adequacy of sampling Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin" (KMO = 0.668) and the "sphericity test Barthlet" (χ2 = 1611.452; df = 276; Sig = 0.000). To analyze the average life expectancy by region it was considered the Life expectancy at Birth (LE - Average number of years a person can expect to live at birth, keeping the mortality rates by age observed in the reference time) from the National Institute of Statistics.
