BMI in subjects who did or did not develop definite or probable TB during prospective follow-up

	n	TB cases	TB mean (range) kg/m²	No TB mean (range) kg/m²	P value^†
Baseline BMI	979	92	23.2 (16.1–35.7)	24.6 (16.2–47.4)	0.0058
Year 1 BMI^*	827	72	23.0 (15.8–34.0)	25.5 (15.8–45.7)	<0.0001
Year 1 change in BMI^*	827	72	−0.3 (−9.6−4.4)	0.6 (−11.7−9.5)	0.0001

Data from subjects who developed TB before the Year 1 BMI measurement were excluded from these analyses.
