Infant mortality is characterized by the death of children under one year, a problem that affects a large part of the world population. This article applies the Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), a mathematical technique used in data analysis to characterize infant mortality in two regions of Minas Gerais state - Brazil: Belo Horizonte and Vale do Jequitinhonha. The Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte has the best human development rate, and Vale do Jequitinhonha has the worst social equality. The relationships between attributes and victims are identified through association rules and implications.
