Relationship between age, sex, geography and incidence of nontuberculous mycobacteria in Denmark from 1991 to 2022
Age, sex and geography are essential determinants in NTM epidemiology. We found that rates of pulmonary NTM have been increasing, particularly in older females, while changes for males were less pronounced. Finally, we observed considerable geographical differences in NTM IRs in Denmark, with higher rates in less populated municipalities.
