- Distribution of patients by age group with chi-square test of homogeneity and percentage of patients aged.
| Age (years) | Frequency | % | Cumulative % | % of 40 and above | Chi-square test of homogeneity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Less than 19 | 1119 | 2.4 | 2.4 | 14.9% | 24919.82* |
| 20 - 29 | 1458 | 3.1 | 5.5 | ||
| 30 - 39 | 4423 | 9.4 | 14.9 | ||
| 40 - 49 | 9950 | 21.2 | 36.1 | 85.1% | |
| 50 - 59 | 11872 | 25.3 | 61.4 | ||
| 60 - 69 | 11565 | 24.6 | 86.1 | ||
| 70 - 79 | 4578 | 9.8 | 95.8 | ||
| 80 and above | 1962 | 4.2 | 100.0 |
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
p-value of <0.05, indicating a statistically significant association between age and diabetes prevalence.
