APOE and tuberculosis: The relationship of TB and NCB with high ApoE-HDL-C persisted in fully adjusted analyses (β = –0.31 and β = –0.32 correspondingly, P = 0.001), whereas low ApoE-HDL-C showed a positive association with NCB (β = 0.13; P = 0.02), which became insignificant after hsCRP adjustment (Supplemental Table 3).
