Importance of Demographic data
 Health status of a community depends
upon the dynamic relationship between
number of people, their composition&
distribution
 Planning of health services can be guided
by demographic variables, for example:
How many health units do we need? How
to distribute them in the community in
order to be accessible to the target
population? What type of manpower is
needed?
The elements of demography
Size: increase or decrease
Composition: sex and age group
Distribution: territory
