STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF TUBERCULOSIS DISTRIBUTION IN DAERAH ISTIMEWA YOGYAKARTA PROVINCE IN 2024

Abstract

Tuberculosis remains one of the major public health problems worldwide, including in Special Region of Yogyakarta. This study aims to analyze the distribution pattern of tuberculosis cases in 2024 using descriptive and inferential statistical approaches to identify trends in case distribution based on regional and population characteristics. The data used in this study were secondary data obtained from regional health reports and analyzed using statistical methods such as frequency distribution, trend analysis, and correlation modeling to examine the relationship between the number of cases and demographic factors. The results show that the distribution of tuberculosis cases in the Special Region of Yogyakarta is uneven across districts and cities, with higher concentrations of cases occurring in areas with relatively high population density and varying access to health services. In addition, statistical analysis indicates an increasing trend in reported cases among the productive-age population. These findings suggest that population density, community mobility, and case detection play important roles in the spread of the disease. Overall, this study provides a statistical overview of the distribution of tuberculosis cases in the Special Region of Yogyakarta in 2024 and highlights the importance of a data-driven approach in controlling infectious diseases. The results are expected to serve as a reference for local governments and health policymakers in designing more effective and targeted prevention strategies, early detection programs, and tuberculosis control measures.
