Abstract: 

Background: a correct interpretation as regards public health data represents a valid parameter in preventing community diseases. Here, we evaluated the epidemiological situation in a northern area of Côte d’Ivoire. Methods: for this purpose, health condition data apropos 906adult patients, from year 2015 to year 2016 were collected at the Regional Hospital of Korhogo. To make straightforward statistical analysis, diagnosed pathologies were clustered in eleven categories. Data were processed by a statistical survey by assessing variance stability in discriminating patient’s recurrently diagnosed diseases. Results: our results revealed six (6) disease categories as frequently diagnosed and proposed parasitic and infectious pathologies as the most recorded health concerns (p-value≤0.05). Women seemed more susceptible contracting (i) parasitic and infectious, (ii) musculoskeletal and osteo-articular and (iii) endocrinal and metabolic diseases. Also, this study suspected a substantial correlation between patient age and both cardiovascular and musculoskeletal diseases incidence and as well supposed a suitable correlation between (i) endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases and (ii) musculoskeletal pathologies. Conclusion: this survey hypothesized the present analyzed locality as heavily influenced by parasitic and infectious diseases, claiming a substantial feminization of the latter’s and as well musculoskeletal and endocrinal diseases.
