Analysis of Schistosoma haematobium Infection Status in Demographics and Locations

What is the distribution of Schistosoma haematobium infection status?

Show code

The data related to Schistosoma haematobium infection status is located in the 'Sheet1' of the Excel file. The sheet contains information on the distribution of infection status (+ve for positive, -ve for negative) across different demographies and locations. Here's a summary of the key findings:

Overall: Out of 251 individuals, 164 (65.3%) were positive, and 87 (34.7%) were negative.
By Location:
- Siluko: 96 out of 150 (64.0%) positive, 54 (36.0%) negative.
- Silas Camp: 68 out of 101 (67.3%) positive, 33 (32.7%) negative.
By Gender:
- Male: 98 out of 149 (65.8%) positive, 51 (34.2%) negative.
- Female: 66 out of 102 (64.7%) positive, 36 (35.3%) negative.
By Age Group:
- 5 - 9 years: 81 out of 132 (61.4%) positive, 51 (38.6%) negative.
- 10 - 14 years: 72 out of 103 (69.9%) positive, 31 (30.1%) negative.
- 15 - 19 years: 11 out of 16 (68.8%) positive, 5 (31.2%) negative.

Compare infection status by gender

To compare the Schistosoma haematobium infection status by gender, we'll focus on the data that distinguishes between male and female participants. Here's the breakdown:

Male: 98 out of 149 (65.8%) were positive for the infection, and 51 (34.2%) were negative.
Female: 66 out of 102 (64.7%) were positive, and 36 (35.3%) were negative.

This comparison shows a slight difference in infection rates between genders, with males having a slightly higher rate of positive cases than females.

Explore age group differences in infection status

We'll examine the differences in Schistosoma haematobium infection status across different age groups. The data provides insights into three age groups:

5 - 9 years: 81 out of 132 (61.4%) positive, 51 (38.6%) negative.
10 - 14 years: 72 out of 103 (69.9%) positive, 31 (30.1%) negative.
15 - 19 years: 11 out of 16 (68.8%) positive, 5 (31.2%) negative.

This breakdown indicates that the infection rate increases with age, peaking in the 10 - 14 years age group, before a slight decrease in the 15 - 19 years group.

Compare infection status by location

To compare the Schistosoma haematobium infection status by location, we'll focus on the data for Siluko and Silas Camp. Here's how the infection rates compare:

Siluko: Out of 150 individuals, 96 (64.0%) were positive, and 54 (36.0%) were negative.
Silas Camp: Out of 101 individuals, 68 (67.3%) were positive, and 33 (32.7%) were negative.

This comparison shows that Silas Camp has a slightly higher rate of positive cases than Siluko.

test the null hypothesis no significant difference between infection and age groups

The p-value obtained from the Chi-Square test is 0.71, indicating no significant difference in Schistosoma haematobium infection rates across the age groups. This means we fail to reject the null hypothesis, suggesting that the infection status does not significantly vary with age groups.

test the null hypothesis no significant difference between infection and sex

The p-value from the Chi-Square test is 0.92, indicating no significant difference in Schistosoma haematobium infection rates between males and females. Thus, we fail to reject the null hypothesis, suggesting that the infection status does not significantly vary by gender.

We analyzed the Schistosoma haematobium infection status across different demographics, including age groups and gender, and tested for significant differences in infection rates between these categories.

Key Findings:

Infection Status Distribution: 65.3% of the individuals were positive for Schistosoma haematobium.
Gender Comparison: Slight differences in infection rates between males (65.8%) and females (64.7%), but not statistically significant (p-value = 0.92).
Age Group Differences: Infection rates increased with age, peaking in the 10 - 14 years group, but no significant difference was found across age groups (p-value = 0.71).
Location Comparison: Silas Camp had a slightly higher rate of positive cases than Siluko.

Statistical Tests:

No significant difference in infection rates by age groups or gender, suggesting that the infection status does not significantly vary with these demographics.

Visualization:

A bar chart visualizing the infection rates by gender showed that the difference in infection rates between males and females is minimal, aligning with the statistical test results.
