- Abstract
The article discusses a study of the dynamic risk of active tuberculosis (AT) in immigrants to Victoria based on age, region of origin (ROR) and time since arrival in the state. The researchers gathered and analyzed immigration data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics to determine annual arrival cohorts from 1975 to 2007. They found that the prevalence of AT was extremely dependent on ROR and age.
