Overlay TB with poverty (or more accurately, per capita GDP) on the map.
There are number of correlations with unhealthy activities like smoking, drinking, fitness, etc... but the best indicator is if you live in poverty, and/or if you're country is poor. Poor areas of rich countries have higher TB, and poor countries in general have higher incidences of poverty. Basically, less access to healthcare and bad living conditions.
