Previously reported associations between race/ethnicity and tuberculosis infection have lacked sufficient adjustment for socioeconomic factors. We analyzed race/ethnicity and self-reported tuberculosis infection data from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study, a well-characterized cohort of 5115 black and white participants, and found that after adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical factors, black participants were more likely to report tuberculosis infection and/or disease (odds ratio, 2.0; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-2.9).
先前报道的种族/民族与结核病感染之间的关联缺乏对社会经济因素的充分调整。我们分析了来自年轻人冠状动脉风险发展（CARDIA）研究的种族/民族和自我报告的结核病感染数据，该研究是一个特征明确的 5115 名黑人和白人参与者队列，发现调整社会人口统计学和临床因素后，黑参与者更有可能报告结核病感染和/或疾病（比值比，2.0；95%置信区间，1.5-2.9）。
