The analysis of health indicators plays a fundamental role in evaluating and monitoring a country's health system. In Brazil, this practice is essential for understanding the population's health situation and guiding effective public policies. In this study, we performed an integrative literature review to examine the approach, objectives and results of the analysis of health indicators in the Brazilian context. The objective of this study is to analyze the approach, objectives and main results of the analysis of health indicators in Brazil, through an integrative literature review. We conducted an integrative literature review, conducting searches in electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus and the Virtual Health Library (VHL), using the following descriptors in Portuguese: health indicators, health analysis, Brazil. Studies published between 2010 and 2022 that addressed the analysis of health indicators in the Brazilian context were included. Studies that were not related to the topic, repeated studies and works in a foreign language were excluded. The analysis of health indicators in Brazil is an essential practice for evaluating and directing effective health policies. Through this integrative review, we observed that this approach is widely used to monitor specific diseases, assess the quality of health services and identify regional inequalities. The results of this analysis contribute to informed decision-making and the continuous improvement of the Brazilian healthcare system. However, it is important to emphasize the need to constantly update the indicators and the methodology used, in order to guarantee the accuracy and relevance of the analyses.
