Population structure and its relationship to chronic diseases in Algeria - An analytical study based on the data of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2019

Abstract

It cannot be said that chronic diseases are a biological thing in isolation from the social, economic and cultural conditions prevailing in society. The difference in the incidence of chronic diseases is often apparent between genders or between age groups, or place of residence (rural / urban) among other things. This study aims to address the issue of population structure in Algeria and its relationship to the varying rates of chronic diseases, depending on the data of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2019. It attempts to explain this variation and difference. The study relies on the descriptive analytical method, and the most important results that: there is a relationship between variation in the incidence of chronic diseases and population structure according to: (age, sex, educational level, occupational status, place of residence).
