  1. Interaction factor between low 25 hydroxyvitamin D and persistent hyperglycemia: adjusted OR (95%CI) 12.42 (1.78–86.60); pinteraction = 0.01
  2. aAdjusted for age, sex, body mass index, socioeconomic status, mean daily sunshine hours during the month of enrolment and HIV status.
  3. Low vitamin D level <75 nmol/l, Persistent hyperglycemia presence of hyperglycemia at enrolment confirmed at follow up (measure of glycemia repeated among patients with tuberculosis only).
  4. Adjusted odds ratios and p values were calculated using multivariate logistic regression
