    Demographic Indicators

    • Used to eliminate differences based on population size and enable comparisons
    • Types: Mean, Median, Ratio, Proportion, Rate, Probability

    Arithmetic Mean

    • Calculated by dividing the sum of values by the number of observations
    • Example data set (25, 30, 42, 27, 15, 13): Mean = 25.33

    Median

    • The value that divides data into two equal parts
    • 50% of observations are above the median.
    • Calculation for unclassified data: If odd number, midpoint after sorting. Example (5, 6, 4, 7, 5, 8, 38, 7, 4): Median = 7
    • Calculation for unclassified data: If even number, mean of two midpoint values after sorting. Example (65, 75, 72, 50, 34, 59): Median = (59 + 65) / 2 = 62

    Median calculation for classified data

    • Lo: Lower limit of the age group of the P/2nd person (P/2'nci kişinin içinde bulunduğu yaş grubunun alt sınırı)
    • fo: Total population of the age group where P/2nd person is located (P/2'nci kişinin bulunduğu yaş grubunun toplam nüfusu)
    • ∑ fo : The sum of the populations of all age groups before the age group in which the P/2nd person is located (P/2'nci kişinin bulunduğu yaş grubundan önceki bütün yaş gruplarının nüfuslarının toplamıdır)
    • i: The size of the age group in which the P/2nd person belongs (P/2'nci kişinin içinde bulunduğu yaş grubunun genişliği)
    • Formula, O = Lo + Σ foxi / fo

    Ratio

    • One number divided by another.
    • Ratio = x/y (x and y are independent of each other)
    • Obtained by dividing two different variables or events within a whole and multiplying by a multiple number (e.g., 100, 1000).

    Gender Ratio example

    • Ratio of men to women per 100 women
    • 336,835 men / 319,582 women * 100 = 105.4

    Disease Ratio Example (patients/healthy people)

    • Used to compare the number of patients to the healthy population per 100 healthy people

    Proportion

    • Numerator is fully contained by the denominator
    • Proportion = x/(x+y)
    • Typically expressed as a percentage

    Rate

    • Number of events occurring in a given time period divided by the population at risk.
    • Formula = e/p
    • Denominator isn't just the population
    • Shows how many people are at risk and for how long.

    Rate Examples

    • Crude birth rate
    • Crude mortality rate

    Rate: Elements

    • Duration (minutes, years etc.)
    • Event (births in a year)
    • A group that will experience the event

    Rate and Ratio Difference

    • Rate: a / N(a+b) ×k
    • Ratio: a /p ×k

    Morbidity Rates (Vital Statistics)

    • Morbidity (disease) indices
    • Fertility indices
    • Mortality (death) indices

    Prevalence Rate

    • Measures the prevalence of diseases in a population.
    • Shows percentage of sick people in a population (old or new).

    Incidence Rate

    • Calculated by dividing the number of new cases by the population at risk.
    • Shows how many people are newly infected.

    Probability (Demographic)

    • Calculated to assess the likelihood of a characteristic in a given population.
    • Example: Proportion of the population in a certain age group.

    Examples of Demographic Indicators

    • Median age
    • Median income
    • Median age at marriage

    TUIK Data

    • Turkish Statistical Institute data for population, growth rates, and proportions in different age groups.
    • Examples of population pyramids (age distribution)
