Methods: The statistical methods were used to derive the results of this work are Student's t-test in order to check the statistical significance of the infectious and parasitic diseases in relation to gender, One-Way ANOVA test in order to check the statistical significance of these diseases in relation to age and the Pearson correlation coefficient for the relationship between these diseases of the predisposing factor of air pollution. Results: The results showed that there is no statistically significant difference in the number of the infectious and parasitic diseases in relation to gender. It was also found that there is a statistically significant difference in the number of the infectious and parasitic diseases in relation to the age. Finally, there is a correlation of the incidence of these diseases with air pollution. Conclusions: This work has shown that infectious and parasitic diseases vary with age, while air pollution is an important predisposing factor.
