The disease poses numerous risks to the elderly population, as it often manifests concomitantly with other age-related illnesses, thereby complicating its diagnosis and management. Several causal and associated factors contribute to the disease.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The objective of this manuscript is to present a scoping review protocol aimed at mapping the available literature on factors associated with and contributing to the incidence of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) in the elderly.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The scoping review protocol was developed following the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) and the PRISMA-ScR checklist, and it has been registered on the Open Science Framework (DOI: <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.17605\/OSF.IO\/DHQVP\" xlink:type=\"simple\">10.17605\/OSF.IO\/DHQVP<\/jats:ext-link>). The databases to be searched include Medline via PubMed, Lilacs, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, as well as gray literature through Google Scholar and the Brazilian Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) Thesis and Dissertation Catalog. The search strategy is grounded on a research question formulated using the PCC acronym (P\u2013Population; C\u2013Concept; C\u2013Context). Peer-reviewed journal articles, scientific books, editorials, conference proceedings, and theses\/dissertations published in Portuguese, English, or Spanish between 2014 and 2024 will be included.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Elderly individuals are more susceptible to diseases due to the natural decline in immune response to <jats:italic>Mycobacterium tuberculosis<\/jats:italic>, the causative agent of tuberculosis.
