All cause of death 0.889 (0.871–0.907) 0.894 (0.875–0.912) 0.038 0.075 0.880 (0.858–0.904) 0.918 (0.887–0.949)
TB-related death 0.864 (0.829–0.899) 0.882 (0.847–0.918) 0.042 0.305 0.864 (0.819–0.911) 0.909 (0.855–0.967)
Non-TB-related death 0.904 (0.884–0.925) 0.908 (0.888–0.929) 0.035 0.141 0.897 (0.871–0.923) 0.930 (0.896–0.966)

BMI, body mass index; cOR, crude odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; aOR, adjusted odds ratio; Coef, coefficient; AFB, acid-fast bacilli; TB, tuberculosis. The odds ratios for each outcome are calculated using logistic regression. Multivariable analysis is adjusted for age, sex, current smoking status, heavy alcohol intake, and presence of underlying comorbidities. BMI is set as a continuous variable.
