This study aims to analyse the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in the air and the physical conditions of the environment in relation to the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) in Lubuk Alung Sub-district, Padang Pariaman Regency. This research is an observational study with a case-control study design, with the data analysis focusing on the odds ratio (OR) value. The results revealed an OR value of 2.667, with a 95% confidence interval of 0.212-33.486. This suggests that home environments failing to meet health standards are associated with a threefold higher risk of TB compared with those meeting the requirements. The physical conditions of respondents’ home environments did not meet the necessary standards, as indicated by inadequate ventilation relative to floor area, insufficient home temperature, excessive humidity, inadequate occupancy density, and insufficient natural lighting due to limited sunlight penetration.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in the air and the physical conditions of the environment in relation to the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) in Lubuk Alung Sub-district, Padang Pariaman Regency. This research is an observational study with a case-control study design, with the data analysis focusing on the odds ratio (OR) value. The results revealed an OR value of 2.667, with a 95% confidence interval of 0.212-33.486. This suggests that home environments failing to meet health standards are associated with a threefold higher risk of TB compared with those meeting the requirements. The physical conditions of respondents’ home environments did not meet the necessary standards, as indicated by inadequate ventilation relative to floor area, insufficient home temperature, excessive humidity, inadequate occupancy density, and insufficient natural lighting due to limited sunlight penetration.
