  1. p-values obtained with Wilcoxon test; ap-value <0.001, bp-value <0.05. cCharacteristic values are means ± standard deviation (SD). BMI = body mass index. BMI wasting = <18.5 kg/m2 for men and women; Lean tissue mass wasting = Lean tissue mass index <16.7 kg/m2 for men and <14.6 kg/m2 for women; Mild tuberculosis disease = TBScore ≤5 and moderate-severe = TBScore >5 [20].
