Resumen

MUNOZ SOCA, Rafael  y  FERNANDEZ AVILA, Roberto. Social factors in the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in "10 de Octubre" municipality. Rev Cubana Hig Epidemiol [online]. 2011, vol.49, n.3, pp.325-335. ISSN 1561-3003.

An analytical of cases/controls study was conducted to determine the influence of some social factors on the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in the "10 de Octubre' municipality from 2001 to 2006 and five health areas were studied. Sample included 52 adult patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis and control included 104 adult persons without a history of chronic respiratory diseases. Information was collected by survey. The Chi2 and odds ratio (OR) statistically significant tests were used. The social factors with a great influence on pulmonary tuberculosis incidence were the family dysfunction (OR l6,37), the poor structural conditions of housing (OR 4,17) and the deficient home hygiene (OR 4,14), as well as the deficient personal hygiene and the overcrowding. Results offer information potentially useful for stratification of social risks in localization of pulmonary TB cases.

Palabras clave : Tuberculosis; risk stratification; social factors.
