Disparities in the burden of tuberculosis associated with urbanization across 178 countries and territories: an observational study
Urbanization was linked to reduced MDR-TB and XDR-TB burdens globally, but to increased burdens in upper-middle-income countries. Building well-managed and healthy cities is essential not only for sustainable urbanization but also for strengthening TB prevention and control, especially in rapidly transitioning upper-middle-income countries.
