“…The location and geographical analysis of areas considered at risk for TB development were presented in this study through spatial analysis techniques, which contributed to the understanding of the current health context and its trends, building approaches directed at health surveillance practices, such as the identification of risk areas, population concentration, and prioritization of actions and resources, as well as the possible association of local conditions in the social environment where the patients live ( 30 ) .…”

Objective: to analyze the association between the occurrence of new tuberculosis cases and the Adapted Living Condition Index, and to describe the spatial distribution in an endemic municipality. Method: this is an analytical and ecological study that was developed from new cases in residents of an endemic municipality in the North Region of Brazil. The data were obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System and from the 2010 Demographic Census. The Adapted Living Conditions Index was obtained by factor analysis and its association with the occurrence of the disease was analyzed by means of the chi-square test. The type I error was set at 0.05. Kernel estimation was used to describe the density of tuberculosis in each census sector. Results: the incidence coefficient was 97.5/100,000 inhabitants. The data showed a statistically significant association between the number of cases and socioeconomic class, with the fact that belonging to the highest economic class reduces the chance of the disease occurring. The thematic maps showed that tuberculosis was distributed in a heterogeneous way with a concentration in the Southern region of the municipality. Conclusion: tuberculosis, associated with precarious living conditions, reinforces the importance of discussion on social determinants in the health-disease process to subsidize equitable health actions in risk areas, upon a context of vulnerability.

“…There is a negative association between HDI and the impact of TB, and the spatial distribution of the disease is affected by multiple factors including the territorial extent, disordered population growth and the concentration of people on the outskirts. In this sense, the geographical space reveals the symbolic dimension of the social relationships, in which the factors associated with the development and dissemination of diseases are expressed, as well as its distribution among the different social groups 20 .…”

Objectives: To describe the epidemiological profile of mortality due to tuberculosis (TB), to analyze the spatial pattern of these deaths and to investigate the temporal trend in mortality due to tuberculosis in Northeast Brazil. Methods: An ecological study based on secondary mortality data. Deaths due to TB were included in the study. Descriptive statistics were calculated and gross mortality rates were estimated and smoothed by the Local Empirical Bayesian Method. Prais-Winsten’s regression was used to analyze the temporal trend in the TB mortality coefficients. The Kernel density technique was used to analyze the spatial distribution of TB mortality. Results: Tuberculosis was implicated in 236 deaths. The burden of tuberculosis deaths was higher amongst males, single people and people of mixed ethnicity, and the mean age at death was 51 years. TB deaths were clustered in the East, West and North health districts, and the tuberculosis mortality coefficient remained stable throughout the study period. Conclusions: Analyses of the spatial pattern and temporal trend in mortality revealed that certain areas have higher TB mortality rates, and should therefore be prioritized in public health interventions targeting the disease.

“…O fato de adultos acima de 50 anos concentrarem o maior número de casos pode estar relacionado à eficácia da vacinação BCG na infância e na maior suscetibilidade ao adoecimento da população nessa faixa etária 16 . A baixa escolaridade na maioria das notificações analisadas pode influenciar negativamente na percepção e disseminação da doença [17][18][19] . Essa vulnerabilidade social dificulta o acesso à informação e a procura aos serviços de saúde.…”
