“…Estudos de revisão sistemática e metanálise reportaram maior chance de hanseníase entre indivíduos com piores condições de moradia, baixa escolaridade, experiência de escassez ou redução na variedade de alimentos, desemprego e salários mais baixos. Essas condições também contribuíram para incapacidades físicas graves, prejuízo na participação social e piora na qualidade de vida 37,38 . Brasil, Índia e Indonésia são os países com maior carga de hanseníase no mundo 3 e apresentam uma parcela significativa de suas populações vivendo com extrema dificuldade no acesso a recursos mínimos de sobrevivência 39 .…”
