Crude (unadjusted for confounding factors); model I (adjusted for gender, age, race, BMI, PIR, smoking, alcohol consumption); model II (adjusted for gender, age, race, BMI, PIR, smoking, alcohol consumption, hypertension, diabetes, history of TB, history of contact with active TB patients, and HIV status). NLR, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio; TBI, tuberculosis infection; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index; PIR, poverty-income ratio; TB, tuberculosis; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus.
