This can help is compare the specific age ranges within a group and will help us lead to further analysis (Werner and Caswell 1977). With this being said, populations are dependent on different trends and demographic factors that are occurring that that time within the specific population that is being studied. Some of these factors include gender and race. These can the predict trends in life expectancy and survivorship
promotion techniques to work it is important to deliver the information in a manner that is specific to the target audience. There are several factors that need to be considered when delivering education to an individual and the most factors is likely the person’s willingness to change (National Cancer Institute, 2005).
