“… Kim et al (2019) [ 32 ] South Korea Case-control The housing provision package proved to be positively influential on the treatment outcomes of homeless TB patients that were grouped into COM, TAU and FAC Saqib et al (2019) [ 42 ] Pakistan Cross-sectional The risk factors of household size, house structure, rooms in the home and room ventilation were significantly associated with TB history in patients. Wardani et al (2019) [ 43 ] Indonesia Case-control The factors such as less ventilation, no in-house sunlight, existence of in-house smoking pollution and in-house TB contact significantly influenced on the TB infection risks.

“…Most studies did not mention room size, but one study used a cutoff of 4 m 2 [ 48 ]. The criteria for poor ventilation, including the presence of windows [ 47 ], number of windows [ 48 , 49 ], and “ventilation area of the house” [ 43 ] without a clear definition of the area, varied among studies, and the results for poorly ventilated areas were compared with those for non-poorly ventilated areas within the same study. Poor roof or floor conditions included leaking roofs [ 46 ], thatched roofs instead of corrugated iron sheets [ 47 ], and earth or other floors instead of cement [ 47 ].…”

Background Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health issue that has long threatened and continues to threaten human health. While previous studies are important in the search for a cure for TB, to eradicate the disease it is also crucial to analyze environmental influences. Therefore, this study determined the potential effect of inadequate housing on TB and the magnitude of the effect. Methods This is a systematic review of the effects of inadequate housing on TB. Between Jan 1, 2011 and Oct 25, 2020, we searched four electronic databases using the search terms “housing AND tuberculosis” or “housing AND TB”. The target population comprised residents of inadequate housing and the homeless. Results We found 26 eligible studies. The distribution of the studies across continents was uneven, and the housing issues of interest seemed to vary depending on the economic level of the country. The eight steps identified in TB development and the consequences thereof were more strongly associated with housing affordability than with housing quality. Conclusions This is the first systematic review to identify the effects of inadequate housing on TB and to categorize inadequate-housing-related exposure to TB in terms of affordability and quality. The steps identified in TB development and the consequences thereof had a greater association with housing affordability than with housing quality. Therefore, public health interventions regarding housing affordability could be more diverse, and interventions that support affordable housing for residents of inadequate housing and the homeless should proceed simultaneously to improve housing quality.

“…Surveys conducted in Recife, Brazil, and South Africa also showed a relationship between individual and community-level socioeconomic positions of TB [11,12]. Researches in Bandar Lampung also found that socioeconomic position related to TB is TB transmission, sputum conversion delay, and health access [13][14][15][16][17][18]. On the other hand, there are still minor study concerns on the effect of socio-economic position on childhood TB.…”

Childhood tuberculosis cases in the year 2020 increased compared to cases in 2013. Meanwhile, childhood tuberculosis has received less attention in the current tuberculosis epidemic. Researches show that tuberculosis closely related to socio-economic position, but only few researches studied in childhood tuberculosis. This research aims to study socio-economic positions as risk factor of childhood tuberculosis. This research is a case control study carried out in six primary health centres which have the highest cases of childhood tuberculosis in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. Samples of this research consisted of case sample and control sample. The case samples were all children with tuberculosis in the research study, which were 73 children and the control samples were 73 children who did not suffer from tuberculosis. Data collection was carried out by interview based on questionnaires, which then analysed using chi square. The results show that low socio-economic positions increase the risk of childhood tuberculosis in children. Furthermore, the mechanism included the presence of household contacts as well as low knowledge of tuberculosis transmission and prevention. In conclusion, childhood tuberculosis control program should be elaborated with socio-economic position intervention.
