Arguments

x	A dataframe providing the data

## To get the right sorting and labels for the age groups

age_trends_data$age_group2 <- graph_age_groups(age_trends_data$age_group_new,
  data_collection = "cdi")

p <- age_sex_pyramid(dat = subset(age_trends_data, fyear6 == 200708),
  age_group = age_group2, sex_var = sex, y_var = rate,
  y_var_label = "Rate, per 100,000 population")
