Selecting a population

Using Profiler starts by selecting a population.

Selecting a population

Selecting a study

1. In the "Population" panel below the toolbar, click the currently selected population or "Select a population".
2. Select a study that represents the right population by clicking one in the list.

Note: Studies approximate the population they represent using a sample. Various factors including sample size, age distribution and sex ratio may affect the validity of results.

Note: Populations with a lock icon next to their name are locked. To use these populations you need to sign in or create a free account.

Filtering a population by sex

1. In the "Population" panel below the toolbar, click the currently selected population or "Select a population".
2. Select either "male" or "female" to limit the population to either sex or select "mixed" to include both male and female individuals.

Note: Data for mixed populations assumes an equal distribution between male and female individuals (unless the study uses a different distribution). This may not be the population's true ratio of men and women.

Filtering a population by age

1. In the "Population" panel below the toolbar, click the currently selected population or "Select a population".
2. Do any of the following:
   • Select an age group.
   • If the population supports custom age groups, use the range slider to select a custom age range.

Selecting measures

Changing a measure
