We found that from adolescence onwards, rates of Mtb conversion increased, and men were at higher risk of acquiring new Mtb infection than women. Mtb conversion was highest at age ~30, and was up to 1.5-times higher in men than in women. This was consistent across settings (regions, rural/urban). 🧵
