statistical significance of proportions difference

Rodrigo Briceño
Dear SPSS users. I am working with a survey that make comparisons between two groups of people: one that reported having chronic disease and other who didn't. Some of the tables that I have constructed have several levels of disaggregation: for example: by sex, age group, urban-rural categorization and with or without chronic disease (4 levels).

My question to the list is: is there a way that I can compare the statistical significance of the differences on proportions of these two groups (people that reported having a chronic disease and those who don´t have it) having these 3 or 4 levels of disaggregation in the table?

Do I need to make filters? or to split the Database?

Thanks for your help.
