Cardiometabolic Biomarkers and Systemic Inflammation in US Adolescents and Young Adults With Latent Tuberculosis Infection: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Older adolescents and young adults with LTBI had higher inflammation than those without LTBI, while cardiometabolic profiles were similar. Unlike that in adults, <i>Mtb</i> infection in young people may not be associated with cardiometabolic derangement, though the long-term consequences of chronic inflammation require further study.
