Congrats @petermacp.bsky.social 💐
It's been 10 years since we published our first review of sex differences in #TB prevalence. In this update, we found men remain twice as likely as women to have TB, and disparities have likely widened over time.

TB is preventable and curable - yet millions are still affected every year.
The problem isn’t just medical. It’s social, structural, and gendered.
This video shows how LIGHT is working with communities to change that.

New: Risk & cause of death among people living with #HIV admitted to hospital
Overall mortality remains unacceptably high (16%) & probably hasn’t changed since 2000
AIDS-related conditions (72%) esp. #TB (27%) main cause of death

In 102 surveys (4.7M participants) men were 2x as likely to have TB than women
Evidence consistent with sex differences widening over time

This is excellent work once again. Well done Rachel and the rest of the team.
Fantastic video from @lightontb.bsky.social PhD student Dr Mphatso Phiri, summarising the research he has been leading in Malawi 🇲🇼 to reduce men’s risk of #TB, and benefit men, women and children.
