Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between various risk factors and the incidence of Pulmonary Tuberculosis at the Kalibobo Health Center. This study uses an analytical method with a cross-sectional approach.  A total of 92 people were sampled using purposive sampling technique. The data was obtained from the secondary data of TIS 2024. Data analyzed by chi-square and prevalence ratio tests. The results showed that the factors of age (0.030), education (0.032), treatment history (0.010), treatment outcome (0.001), and smoking status (0.024) were significant to the incidence of Pulmonary TB. Meanwhile, gender (0.411), distance to health facilities (0.844), HIV status (1,000), and diabetes status (0.976) were not significant to the incidence of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (Pulmonary TB). Factors that have a greater risk of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (Pulmonary TB) are age (RP=1.393), education (RP=1.411), treatment history (RP=1.653), treatment outcomes (RP=1.658) and smoking status (RP=1.412).
