Figure 1: Age and gender-standardized prevalence of QFT positivity by study site.

From: Association of Body Mass Index with the Tuberculosis Infection: a Population-based Study among 17796 Adults in Rural China

Figure 1

The associations of QFT positivity with close contact with active TB patients and BMI ≥ 28.0 kg/m2 were shown by study site as well. The strength of the association for close contact was strongest at the site with the lowest prevalence of infection. Inversely, the association of BMI ≥ 28.0 kg/m2 was strongest for the site with the highest prevalence of infection.
