*Values are no. (%) except as indicated. Number of household residents missing for 3 participants. One participant reported ‘other’ for sex and was not included in analyses. BMI, body mass index; IQR, interquartile range; NAAT, nucleic acid amplification test. †Respiratory disease includes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, other chronic respiratory diseases. Cardiovascular disease includes hypertension and coronary artery disease. BMI calculated by dividing weight in pounds by height in inches squared and multiplied by a conversion factor of 703.
