Association of urbanization-related factors with tuberculosis incidence among 1992 counties in China from 2005 to 2019: a nationwide observational study
Urbanization-related factors, including GDP, NTL and NDVI, were inversely associated with TB incidence. Central China's contrasting results highlighted region-specific challenges. Therefore, governments in developing countries should adopt integrated approaches that promote both economic growth and sustainable development of environment during urbanization to optimize TB control efforts.
