This paper proposed tuberculosis transmission model in a heterogeneous population with age structure. Mathematically, the infection-free equilibrium and stability analysis for the model was studied, these results are based on a threshold called basic reproduction number \(\mathcal{R}_0\). Several numerical simulations are used to investigate the influence of various progression rates on tuberculosis dynamics. The results support that the aging effect on the disease progression rate contributes to tuberculosis permanence.
