Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify social risk factors of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Methods. We used a questionnaire to evaluate living conditions, number of subjects living together, including children; dwelling space, and family income.
Results. The study involved 342 patients with newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis (56.4±5.26% were men) and 386 healthy individuals (54.7±4.97% were women). Poor living conditions (OR = 8.4 (5.25; 13.44); p < 0.001) and extremely low income (OR = 2.5 (2.17; 2.97); p < 0.001) were associated with the highest risk for pulmonary tuberculosis morbidity followed by living in an individual household, small dwelling space, low family income and less living rooms in a house. A relatively small proportion of TB foci involving children was found.
Conclusion. The results can facilitate targeted measures for active diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in high risk cohorts. This could increase efficacy of preventive measures and reduce diagnostic costs per a patient.
