Association between alcohol consumption and risk of developing tuberculosis in patients with diabetes: a nationwide retrospective cohort study
Heavy alcohol consumption has been linked to an increased risk of developing TB in patients with T2DM. In contrast, mild-to-moderate alcohol consumption was associated with a reduced risk of TB, except in current smokers, where it led to a higher risk of TB. The risk of TB substantially increased with alcohol intake of 20 g/day or more, following a J-shaped curve.
