The distribution of patients by age group, along with their corresponding frequencies, percentages (%), and cumulative percentages. It also highlights the percentage (%) of patients aged 40 and above, which comprises 85.1% of the total population. A Chi-square test of homogeneity was conducted to assess the significance of the age-related distribution, with a
