Abstract

The study of the causes of mortality has served to generate hypotheses about the etiology of diseases, describe the patterns of change over time and also to estimate the prevalence of disease among groups of people or geographic areas. Traditionally, these studies have been based on the analysis of a single cause of death, the basic cause, however, mortality from tuberculosis has characteristics to be studied with a multiple-cause approach, since this disease generally does not cause death, but is found linked to many deaths. The determination of health and disease is in the triad of agent, host and environment.
