Basic sanitation infrastructure in urban Brazil indigenous population: 2016 to 2019

The presence of basic sanitation in urban areas of Brazil was analyzed, according to race, based on data from the Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicilios Continua (PNADc), 2016-2019. In addition to descriptive statistics, adjusted multiple logistic regression (RLM) was used to compare the presence of sanitary infrastructure between indigenous and non-indigenous. The results point to lower percentages of sanitation services among black and indigenous households, particularly for sewage services in the North. Of the 96 comparisons carried out through RLM, in 78,1% there was no significant difference between indigenous and non-indigenous, in 18,8% indigenous households showed a significant statistical advantage and, in 3,1% the indigenous were at a disadvantage. As conclusion, it is verified the permanence of the non-universalization of sanitation services. The results suggest a decrease in inequities related to basic sanitation between indigenous and non-indigenous people.
