Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Question: Do aging , COPD , and other risk factors explain the increased prevalence of pulmonary Mycobacterium avium complex in Ontario?
Answer: Although population aging appears to be a major risk factor, the increase in pMAC disease in Ontario could be only partly explained by aging, increases in COPD, HIV, solid organ transplantation, and TNF- inhibition therapy. The increase in pMAC is likely multifactorial and may be affected by environmental or pathogen factors not addressed in this study.
