Effect of population aging on pulmonary tuberculosis burden in Zhejiang Province, China: a population-based study
Notified incidence of PTB in Zhejiang Province is expected to decrease. However, this decrease may be affected by demographic changes, particularly in older adults. Thus, strengthening public health measures and policies is crucial to achieving the End TB Strategy goal by 2035, emphasizing the need to enhance PTB screening in older adults.
