AIM
To understand tuberculosis (TB) prevalence among the slum dwellers of metropolitan cities of India and the factors associated with TB prevalence.
METHODS
National Family Health Survey-III data for four metropolitan cities namely, Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai was used for this study.
RESULTS
Prevalence of TB is significantly (P=0.001) higher in the slums than non-slums of Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata cities. As the living standard increases, TB prevalence decreases. Logistic regression analysis uncovers that lower standard of living is highly associated with TB followed by place of residence (slum or non-slum).
CONCLUSION
Mumbai has the highest prevalence among the four cities studied herein. Living standards, place of residence and absence of windows and electricity in the households are the factors associated with TB prevalence.
目的
了解印度大城市贫民窟居民的结核病患病率以及与结核病患病率相关的因素。
方法
本研究使用了来自德里、孟买、加尔各答和金奈这四个大城市的第三次全国家庭健康调查数据。
结果
在孟买、金奈和加尔各答市，贫民窟的结核病患病率显著高于非贫民窟（P = 0.001）。随着生活水平的提高，结核病患病率下降。逻辑回归分析表明，较低的生活水平与结核病高度相关，其次是居住地点（贫民窟或非贫民窟）。
结论
在本文研究的四个城市中，孟买的患病率最高。生活水平、居住地点以及家庭中没有窗户和电力供应是与结核病患病率相关的因素。
