Hi everyone,
I have total 3687 cases during 10 year study period and I got the information about SEX AGE (in 5 year age group) and Area (n=127) of these variables.
As I want to calculate the Age and sex standardized morbidity ratio in each area.
I think I should firstly make a table for each Area, which contains the number of cases stratified by sex and age group.
like this
Area a :
Male Female
0-4 years
5-9 years
10-14 years
....
80-85 years
over 85 years
and then I can calculate the age and sex standardized Incidence rate in each area according to the total number of population in each strata.
Does anyone can tell me what should I do to TAB these variables?
Or any other more clever ways to calculate standardized incidence rate or standardized morbidity ratio please?
Sincerely appreciated.
