Results. In 2016-2020, tuberculosis incidence among people of the Karakalpak ethnicity (whose ancestors were nomadic and seminomadic people) made 147,08 per 100,000 population on the average (2016 - 178,8; 2017 - 174,8; 2018 - 139,4; 2019 - 136,9; 2020 - 108,1 per 100,000 population), among people of the Uzbek ethnicity (whose ancestors lived sedentary lives), tuberculosis incidence made 85,3 per 100,000 population on the average (2016 - 92,4; 2017 - 89,5; 2018 - 139,4; 2019 - 136,9; 2020 - 60,9 per 100,000 population).
