Abstract:
In this research paper, data on health indicators published in the environmental statistics for Iraq for the year 2020, by the Central Statistical Organization in Iraqi Ministry of Planning, were used. The health data analyzed includes the number of infections and the number of deaths from the cancer cases among males and females , in addition to analyzing data distributed among all Iraqi governorates for the years 2017 and 2018. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to demonstrate the degree of interaction between all independent variables and to test for significant differences between the number of cases and deaths for the period 2013-2018, as distributed across the various Iraqi governorates. Finally, the study demonstrated clear significant differences between the number of cancer cases among males and females for the years 2017 and 2018, distributed across the various Iraqi governorates. Furthermore, significant differences were found in the number of cancer cases between the years 2013-2018.
