dc.description.abstractUntil 2019, tuberculosis ranked first among deaths due to a single infectious agent. In 2021, 50% of deaths due to tuberculosis occurred in African countries. Alcohol use, smoking, and high fasting plasma glucose are risk factors for tuberculosis-related deaths. This study examined the impact of risk factors on tuberculosis-related mortality in Sub-Saharan African countries. Panel data analysis was conducted in the study. The number of deaths due to tuberculosis was used as the dependent variable, while risk factors for tuberculosis deaths were used as independent variables. In the long term, when the number of people drinking alcohol, smoking, and having high fasting plasma glucose rises by 1%, the number of people dying from tuberculosis increases by 0.02%, 0.22%, and 0.66%, respectively. In the short term, when the number of people smoking and high fasting plasma glucose increases rises by 1%, the number of people dying from tuberculosis increases by 0.41% and 0.50% respectively. In this study, the relationship between tuberculosis-related deaths and alcohol use, smoking, and high fasting plasma glucose as risk factors is shown statistically. The more risk factors can be controlled, the less death from tuberculosis will occur in Sub-Saharan African countries.en_US
