(1) age
Age is perhaps the most important factor
because there is greater variation in age-
specific disease rates than in rates defined by
almost any other personal attribute. for
example, measles, mumps tend to occur
most commonly in childhood.

(2) sex
numerous epidemiologic studies have
shown sex differences in a wide scope
of health phenomena, males generally
have higher mortality rates than
females .
