Non Parametric Analysis Of Reported Cases Of Malaria Fever Attack On Various Sex And Age Groups
ABSTRACT
The
main objective of this work is to verify whether a particular sex or age group
is affected by malaria fever more than the other(s) based on a given set of data.
Reported cases of malaria fever, under various age and sex groups from the
Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Umuahia, for the period (1996-2000) was studied. Nonparametric
technique was employed in analyzing the data collected from Federal Medical
Centre (FMC) Umuahia. Three forms of the techniques were used: Mann-Whitney U
test, Wilcoxon Rank-sum test and kruskal-wallis H test. The result of the
analysis revealed that malaria fever attack has almost the same effect on both
sexes but decreases with increasing age groups. That is, the older one is, the
more resistant he/she is to malaria fever. • The result of this analysis raises
the question, "can one's body system get immuned, adapted or resistant to
malaria fever?" The answer to this question is left for further research
work especially by a medical team.
