Incidence and mortality from tuberculosis in Bahrain have been examined for the years 1965, 1971, 1980-1981 and 1983-1987. Both incidence and mortality rates have shown a large decline since 1965. Most of the decrease in incidence rates occurred in the period 1983-1987 when there was a sharp decline among non-Bahrainis by an average of 20.4% per annum, from 157.3 per 100,000 in 1983 to 63.1 per 100,000 in 1987. Rates for Bahrainis have decreased gradually since 1965 and during 1983-1987 declined from 15.8 per 100,000 to 11.9 per 100,000; an average annual decline of 6.8%. In 1983-1987, non-Bahrainis showed, on average, rates which were seven times higher than Bahrainis. In 1987, among Bahrainis the age distribution of cases shifted to older age groups in comparison to previous years, and in all the study years, there were more males with pulmonary tuberculosis than females. Rates for non-pulmonary tuberculosis showed only small fluctuations during the study period.
对巴林1965年、1971年、1980 - 1981年以及1983 - 1987年期间的结核病发病率和死亡率进行了调查。自1965年以来，发病率和死亡率均大幅下降。发病率的下降主要发生在1983 - 1987年期间，在此期间非巴林人发病率急剧下降，平均每年下降20.4%，从1983年的每10万人157.3例降至1987年的每10万人63.1例。自1965年以来，巴林人的发病率逐渐下降，在1983 - 1987年期间从每10万人15.8例降至每10万人11.9例；年均下降6.8%。1983 - 1987年期间，非巴林人的发病率平均是巴林人的7倍。1987年，与前几年相比，巴林人病例的年龄分布向老年人群体转移，且在所有研究年份中，患肺结核的男性多于女性。在研究期间，非肺结核的发病率仅出现小幅波动。
