Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify key social factors driving tuberculosis (TB) rates in Latin America and the Caribbean, which has high socioeconomic inequality.
- Researchers analyzed data from 20 countries between 1995 and 2012, using regression models to examine the link between TB incidence and various social determinants.
- Findings revealed that higher health expenditure and better sanitation access correlated with lower TB rates, while inequalities in these factors persisted, affecting the incidence of TB significantly across different countries.
