- Hypertension
- Diabetes
- Cancer (Specify type)
- Obesity
- Asthma
- etc.
Example of How the Data Might Look in a CSV Format:
csvCopy codeID,Age Group,Gender,Socio-Economic Status,Geographic Location,Ethnicity/Race,Disease Prevalence (Hypertension),Disease Prevalence (Diabetes),Disease Prevalence (Cancer)
1,19-35,Male,Middle,Urban,White,0,1,0
2,36-50,Female,Low,Rural,Black,1,1,0
3,51-65,Female,High,Urban,Asian,1,0,1
4,65+,Male,Low,Urban,Hispanic,1,1,1
5,19-35,Female,Middle,Rural,White,0,0,0
6,36-50,Male,Low,Rural,Black,1,1,1
7,0-18,Female,Low,Urban,White,0,0,0

How to Create This Data in Excel or CSV:
- Open Excel or Google Sheets.
- Label the Columns: Age Group, Gender, Socio-Economic Status, etc.
- Enter the Data: Fill in the rows with data for each individual or sample.
- Save the File:
- For Excel: Click “Save As” and choose Excel Workbook (.xlsx).
- For CSV: Click “Save As” and choose CSV (Comma Delimited) (.csv).
Further Customization:
You can customize the structure based on your specific needs. For example, if you want to analyze disease prevalence by multiple diseases, you can add additional columns (e.g., “Hypertension”, “Asthma”, etc.). If you have large datasets, it might be beneficial to break the data into smaller, more specific files for each demographic factor, such as a file for age and another for gender.
