“…In China, they carried out a study on people over 65 years of age, where the variables that had a significant association with the level of knowledge about TB were having a history of TB and relatives with a history of this disease [16], which contrasts with the results of our investigation. While in a study carried out in Colombia, they reported that the level of knowledge about TB is influenced by age, where it was found that the most correct responses were found in the population over 30 years of age [17], unlike in our work, the most significant number of correct answers was found between 18 and 25 years of age; in addition, significant differences with age were found only with practices related to TB but no association with knowledge or attitudes.…”

“…Respecto a los conocimientos sobre síntomas y formas de contagio dentro del centro penitenciario, se presentan valores similares a lo encontrado en investigaciones como la de Figueroa et al, en donde las personas identificaron la tos (75 %) y las vías respiratorias (61 %) como factores de riesgo para la transmisión de la TB (21). No obstante, la riqueza y aporte que tiene la información obtenida en este estudio radica en que, a diferencia de los hallazgos de Figueroa et al, quienes emplearon preguntas cerradas que limitaban las opciones de respuesta, en esta inves-tigación se valoraron algunos conocimientos a través de preguntas abiertas, lo que reveló una diversidad importante de respuestas sin la posibilidad de opciones previas, con el fin de explorar las asociaciones que hace la PPL con la TB a partir de su imaginario social, percepciones propias y cosmovisión.…”
