Implication

Cross-sectional analysis reveals significant mortality disparities in tuberculosis among older adults, suggesting urgent interventions are necessary for elimination.

Key Points

Mortality rates for tuberculosis decreased significantly, but disparities persist across demographics and regions.
From 1999 to 2022, tuberculosis incidence rates fell from 64.3 to 25.0 per million, highlighting the need for continued tracking.
Cross-sectional analysis of CDC data from adults 45 and older revealed concerning trends in mortality disparities, particularly among older age groups.
Forecasting indicates that mortality rates are expected to remain above the US elimination target by 2035, necessitating targeted public health efforts.
