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)
