Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well-established risk factor for active tuberculosis (TB) infection. Despite the worldwide rapid increase in the prevalence of prediabetes, its impact on the risk of active TB remains largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between prediabetes and risk of active TB in a large cohort study.
