From: Differential effects of sex on tuberculosis location and severity across the lifespan
Multivariable analysis showing odds of disease severity of interest for female versus male in 10-year age increments: (A) symptom presence, (B) cavitary disease, (C) bilateral disease, and (D) AFB smear positivity. We assessed the odds of having extrapulmonary tuberculosis for females compared with males as a reference in every age category. The multivariable model was adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, current smoking status, heavy alcohol intake, and the presence of comorbidities. OR odds ratio.
