The bar chart shows data on changes in the number of male and female deaths due to flu from March to August in 1996.Whereas, the line graph compares the flu rates among males and females in 1996. 


From March to May, only a female death due to flu was reported. But, after the experimentation of flu vaccine in June 1996,both male and female mortality rates were high.From June to August,two males died due to flu and the rate was double in females during the same period.

The line chart shows, a wide fluctuation in flu rates in both genders throughout the year. Compared to females,males had less incidence rate. In February,no male was affected with flu but gradually there was increase and the number shot upto 500 in April, which got  peaked in June, with just above 2500, a five fold increase. But there was a steady decline to 1500 in December.

Similarly, no single female was affected in February, but rapidly the number increased to 1000 in April. The all time high rate of 3500 happened in June, but later, in September, it slightly decreased to 2500 and it remained constant till December.

Overall, both mortality and morbidity due to flu was more in females than males.
