The aim was to describe the profile of death due to Respiratory System Diseases (RSD) in Goiás and its health macro-regions, from 2010 to 2019. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study using data from the Mortality Information System to calculate the Specific Death Rate (SDR). The profile was evaluated regarding sex, age group, month, year of death and category of CID10.There were 45,681 deaths in the state (650.88/100,000 pop.), 38.22% in the midwest. The male gender had 53.03% of deaths. Among the causes, 43.49% were due to pneumonia and 43.10% chronic diseases of the lower airways. There was an increase of 19.71% in SDR in the period and the higher rates occurred in the months of april, october and may. The mortality increased with age. In conclusion, incentives for health promotion, prevention and surveillance actions can help in a decrease in SDR in the state.
