2.1 DEMOGRAPHY - study of population size, composition and spatial distribution as affected bybirths, deaths and migration.Sources : Census complete enumeration of the population2 Ways of Assigning People:1. De Jure - People were assigned to the place where assigned to the place theyusually live regardless of where they are at the time of census.2.De Facto - People were assigned to the place where they are physically present at areat the time of census regardless, of their usual place of residence.COMPONENTS:1. Population size2. Population composition* Age Distribution* Sex Ratio
* Population Pyramid* Median age - age below which 50% of the population fall and abovewhich 50% of the population fall. The lower the medianage, the younger the population (high fertility, high death rates).* Age Dependency Ratio - used as an index of age-induced economic drain on humanresources* Other characteristics:- occupational groups- economic groups- educational attainment

Epidemic potential
- an area becomes vulnerable to a disease upsurge due to causal factors such asclimatic changes, ecologic changes, or socio-economic changesEndemic
- habitual presence of a disease in a given geographic location accounting for thelow number of both immunes and susceptibles
e.g. Malaria is a disease endemic at Palawan.- the causative factor of the disease is constantly available or present to the area.Sporadic
- disease occurs every now and then affecting only a small number of peoplerelative to the total population- intermittentPandemic- global occurrence of a diseaseSteps in EPIDEMIOLOGICAL IVESTIGATION:1.
