A Statistical Investigation on the Incidence of Tuberculosis on Five Former Communist Countries

Abstract

The object of this research paper is the analysis of tuberculosis (TB) through 17 yearly probes. The methodology of research consists mainly on statistical tests and models. The added value of this paper derives from the inclusion of economic terms together with social-lifestyle associated terms in order to determine which category is best associated with TB and thus should be paid more attention to. One of the conclusions of this research was that, as suspected, GDP/capita plays an important role in the incidence of TB, together with health expenditure/capita.
