“…Similar studies from India and Brazil however, reported no significant association between level of education and place of residence. [29,30] Occupation was statistically associated with place of residence as there are more civil servants and unemployed among the urban dwellers when compared to the rural dwellers. Similar study have reported that TB was more common among white collar workers than other workers.…”

Background: Tuberculosis is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide and the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent. The World Health Organization estimates that about a third of the world’s population is infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis and that about 16-20 million are suffering from the disease. The study aimed to determine the socio-demographic characteristics of patients treated for Tuberculosis at a tertiary health facility in Nigeria and to find the differences in socio-demographic characteristics based on their place of residence. Methods: The study was a 5-year retrospective cohort study (2018-2022) of all Tuberculosis cases treated at the chest and TB clinic of Enugu State University Teaching Hospital Park Lane Enugu, Nigeria. All the patients that received TB treatment within the 5 year period were included for the study. Results: The mean age was 38.91±17.39. Most of the cases were in the 30-39 year age group (24.8%). About 2/3 of them were males (61.9%) and urban dwellers (65.0%). Most had secondary education (46.2%) and traders (27.5%). About half of them were married (51.6%) while almost all were Igbos (95.4%). Educational level (p<0.001), occupation (p<0.001) and ethnicity (p=0.021) were significantly associated with place of residence. Conclusion: We conclude that Tuberculosis is a disease of young adults and common among males than females. Place of residence, educational level, occupation and ethnicity were important factors in the prevalence of tuberculosis. Efforts should be focused on these identified socio-demographic characteristics for effective control of tuberculosis.

“…15,25 The studies by Bogam & Sagare in India and Silveira et al in Southern Brazil found no significant association between level of education and frequency of TB. 3,26 Some prior studies had documented that the percentage of PTB was greater in waged workers than salaried or selfemployed people in India but another study from Wardha, India showed that the TB percentage in white collar workers was higher compared to blue collar workers. 15,16 In the present study, labourers were 37% and unemployed individuals (retired persons, students and housewives) were 33.4% in urban area but labourers were 49% and unemployed individuals (retired persons, students and housewives) were 19.4% in the rural area.…”

INTRODUCTIONIn today's world, Tuberculosis (TB) still remains as a major public health problem. In terms of incidence, the WHO South-East Asia Region (SEAR) accounted for 38% of the global burden of TB. According to the latest estimate in the year 2013, the occurrence of new TB cases were 3.4 million and deaths due to TB were about 4,40,000 each year. Five of the 11 Member countries of SEAR namely Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Myanmar and Thailand were among the 22 countries in the world with high-burden of TB. India alone accounted for 23% of the world's incident TB cases and 21% of world deaths due to TB. Among all new TB cases detected in 2013 in ABSTRACT Background: This study has been carried out to assess the socio-economic profile and underlying risk factors of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients registered under RNTCP programme of India and to find the differences based on their residential place. Methods: The study design was cross sectional consisting of 167 PTB patients from three DOTS centres in Madurai, Tamilnadu during August 2015. Data was collected using a questionnaire that included personal details, socioeconomic and risk factors. Results: PTB was most prevalent in the age group of 35-54 years both in the urban (46.7%) and rural (49.4%) side. In the urban population, 67 (74.4%) were men whereas in the rural population they were 53 (68.8%). Maximum of the study subjects were from nuclear family (67.8% in urban and 89.6% in rural). About 20% of the patients studied were illiterates irrespective of their residential place. Labourers were 37% in urban area and 49% in rural area. Smoking, alcoholism and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) were more common among urban PTB patients while under-nutrition and poor housing among rural PTB patients. Conclusions:The study has concluded that the usual epidemiological pattern of PTB has been observed in both urban and rural setup as reported by other researchers. Socio-economic status and risk factors have played a vital role for treatment success. To eradicate Tuberculosis (TB), a holistic and interdisciplinary approach would be necessary to improve the socio-economic status along with proper screening and treatment of underlying risk factors. More precise health education and proper awareness programmes have to be implemented from the grass-root level to get rid of TB.

Aim: To study and analyse the socio-demographic profile and basic risk factors of tuberculosis(TB) patients and their relationwith the current epidemiological status of TB registered under the RNTEP program in the study area. Subjects and Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 1743 newly registered tuberculosis patients at TB-DOT centerof South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India from 2011-2014. Socio-demographic variables and baseline characteristics of theparticipants were noted by a semi-structured questionnaire. Results: Our study results indicate that more than 95% of the TB patients were from lower socioeconomic class, and hadpoor literacy status and tuberculosis was observed highest in non-agricultural labour and cultivators. Among the young adult’smajority of the affected population were females from the lower/upper-lower socioeconomic class. Our analysis revealed that,in successful tuberculosis therapy, men were more defaulters than women. Conclusion: Our study provides a socioeconomic profile and the risk factors of tuberculosis in patients such as the status oftherapeutic intervention, involvement of other chronic diseases, age, sex and malnutrition. The findings of this study can beused to plan future studies with specific risk factors of the region and also for implementing the intervention and evaluating itseffectiveness.Keywords: Mycobacterium tuberculosis; socio-demographic factors; multi-drug resistance; pulmonary tuberculosis; extra-pulmonarytuberculosis.
