This study aims to determine the risk factors that can influence the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and find out the risk factors that have a relationship with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Data analysis in this study was carried out by the binary logistic regression method. The results of the study stated that factors of nutritional status and family history status suffering from tuberculosis had an influence on the incidence of tuberculosis.
