Result : From the results of research known that there was a signifivicant between sex  (p-value = 0,030; RP = 5,833), formal education (p-value = 0,041; RP =  4,5), job (p-value = 0,034; RP = 6,9) and nutrition (p-value = 0,016 ; RP = 5,9) with incidence of Pulmonary Tuberculosis. There is no relationship between age (p-value = 1,000; RP = 1,2), status of marriage (p-value = 0,360; RP = 0,5), income (p-value = 1,000; RP = 1,1) and complication desease (p-value = 0,582; RP = 1,9) with incidence of Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
