Estimates^a of effect of diabetes on absolute tuberculosis incidence rates^b

	Low risk groupc			High risk groupd
	With diabetes	Without diabetes	Difference	With diabetes	Without diabetes	Difference
Tuberculosis ratesb	3.7 × 10−6	2.8 × 10−6	8.4 × 10−7	893.7	687.9	205.8

^aIncidence rates predicted from Poisson model including variables: diabetes status, age, ethnicity, alcohol status, smoking status, body mass index (BMI) and index of multiple deprivation (IMD)

^bTuberculosis rates per 100,000 person years

^cAge <20 years, white ethnicity, moderate drinkers, non-smokers, BMI >30 and in the 1^st IMD quintile

^dAge >70 years, South Asian ethnicity, non-drinkers, current-smokers, BMI <20 and in the 5^th IMD quintile
