Abstract: Indoor air pollution 1.4 Low body mass index 2.45 a Alcohol use (daily or alcohol use disorder) 2.94 Diabetes mellitus 3.11 Source: International Institute for Population Sciences and Macro International 2007. Note: Human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) does not appear in the table because once it was clear that HIV/AIDS was a major risk factor for TB, it became unethical to do a prospective study that did not offer HIV-positive patients isoniazid. a.

“…Without the same resources, external pressure, or validation from donors, autocratic leaders might have less incentive to provide the chronic care and policy-based prevention that tuberculosis, injuries, and many non-communicable diseases require. Our results show that governments, irrespective of GDP, spent more on health as democratic experience increased, which is consistent with the findings of previous studies 44, 45…”

“…Tuberculosis (TB), an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is associated with high morbidity and mortality, thus posing a global public health problem. In 2017, TB ranked as one of the top ten causes of death, with an estimated 10 million new cases and 1.6 million deaths [ 1 ]. In addition, approximately 1.7 billion people, 23% of the global population, are estimated to have latent TB infection and to be at risk of developing active TB during their lifetime.…”

“…While several factors contribute to natural differences in human immunity to disease, this PERSPECTIVE article focuses mainly on host genetic factors as one of the main drivers for outcomes of infectious diseases, specifically TB (Abel et al, 2014). In the current state, the BCG vaccine for TB elicits highly variable protection in different human populations, and anti-TB drugs might work well in one person but be less effective or cause serious side effects in another (Bloom et al, 2017). Therefore, knowing the underlying relationship between genetics and biology will enable us to identify those individuals who will benefit maximally from designed therapies and vaccines.…”
