STATISTICAL OVERVIEW OF PREVALENCE OF MALARIA WITH ASSOCIATED SOCIOECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS IN AFRICA
Abstract
The study investigates malaria prevalence in Africa and its relationship with socioeconomic
and demographic factors using binary logistic regression on data sourced from Kaggle.
Key findings indicate that higher use of insecticide-treated bed nets reduces malaria
incidence, while urban population growth is positively correlated with higher incidence.
Access to basic drinking water in urban areas was found to lower malaria risk
