O objetivo foi analisar e caracterizar os casos notificados de internações, óbitos e a taxa de mortalidade por obesidade no Brasil entre 2013 a 2024. Estudo ecológico utilizando dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS, de janeiro de 2013 a dezembro de 2024. Foram registradas 132.541 internações por obesidade. As regiões Sul e Sudeste concentrando 44,3% e 40,7% dos casos, respectivamente, apresentando diferença entre todas as regiões (p < 0,001). Com sua maioria entre as mulheres (87,1%). Quanto aos óbitos, 258 foram registrados, com as regiões Sudeste e Sul representando 47,7% e 37,6%, respectivamente, apresentando diferença entre todas as regiões (p < 0,001). A taxa de mortalidade foi maior nos homens (0,54) em comparação com as mulheres (0,14) (p < 0,001). As hospitalizações e óbitos por obesidade aumentaram, especialmente nas mulheres, com maior incidência entre 20 a 59 anos, mas o impacto é mais grave nos homens.
