STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF DENGUE FEVER CASES IN BALI PROVINCE IN 2024

Abstract

Dengue Fever remains a significant public health problem in Bali Province, with cases distributed unevenly across regions. High population mobility, tropical environmental conditions, and community behavior factors contribute to the dynamics of disease transmission. Although case data is routinely available, systematic statistical analysis is needed to identify patterns of distribution and levels of disparity between districts/cities as a basis for evidence-based policy formulation. This study aims to analyze the distribution of DHF morbidity rates in Bali Province in 2024 using a descriptive quantitative approach. Secondary data were obtained from official publications of the Central Statistics Agency and analyzed through the calculation of measures of central tendency and dispersion, including the mean, maximum value, minimum value, and range. The results showed that the DHF morbidity rate in Bali Province in 2024 was 319.17 per 100,000 population with significant interregional variation. Gianyar Regency had the highest morbidity rate of 840.94 per 100,000 population, while Jembrana Regency had the lowest rate of 101.76 per 100,000 population. The range value of 739.18 indicates a considerable disparity in incidence between districts/cities. These findings underscore the importance of region-based dengue fever control strategies and the use of statistical analysis as a decision-making tool in planning.
