“…Malnutrition can further lead to impaired immune function [4, 5], as nutritional deficiency alters the interaction between macrophages and T-lymphocytes [6]. Moreover, although most people who get infected from TB will not manifest symptoms as their immune system manages to control the bacteria, malnourished persons are more likely to develop active TB because the infection is no longer constrained by their immune systems [7].…”

BackgroundThe objectives of this study were to examine nutrient intakes of tuberculosis (TB) patients and to identify their associated factors.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, 300 adult TB patients were surveyed in two impoverished counties in China. Nutrient intakes were evaluated through two consecutive 24-h dietary recalls and compared with the Chinese Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) 2013. The potential socio-demographic and behavioral factors were analyzed using multivariate logistic model to identify strong influential factors.ResultsWe found that mean daily energy intake was 1655.0 kcal (SD: 619.3 kcal) and 1360.3 kcal (SD: 552.1 kcal) for male and female patients, respectively. The mean daily energy intake was significantly lower than that has been recommended by DRI (i.e., 2250 and 1800 kcal for males and females, respectively), with 87.4% of the male patients and 59.9% of female patients failed to consume adequate energy. The protein intakes were 44.6 g (SD: 18.2 g) and 35.9 g (SD: 12.3 g) for male and female patients, respectively, which were lower than the recommended values by DRI (i.e., 65 and 55 g for males and females, respectively). Most male (90.8%) and female (58.4%) TB patients had insufficient daily protein intake. Further analyses suggested that mean daily intakes of many micronutrients, were insufficient, while for most of patients, intakes of vitamin E and sodium were sufficient. We identified that unemployment was a risk factor for low energy intake (p < 0.05) and out-home-eating was a protective factor for low protein intake (p < 0.01).ConclusionsIn impoverished areas in China, intakes of macronutrients and most micronutrients in TB patients were inadequate compared with DRIs, especially for unemployed patients and patients eating at home. These findings suggested that public health actions are needed to promote education on TB patients about significance of nutritional support, and, further interventions in TB patients’ nutritional intakes are also required.

Background: This study evaluated nutrient intakes of tuberculosis (TB) patients and examine their associated factors. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 300 adult TB patients were enrolled in two impoverished counties in China. Nutrient intakes were evaluated through two consecutive 24-h dietary recalls and compared with the Chinese Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) 2013. Corresponding information for local general population was derived from 2015 China Health and Nutrition Survey. Results: The mean daily energy (1655.0 kcal in males, 1360.3 kcal in females) and protein (44.6 g in males, 35.9 g in females) intakes of TB patients were below Recommend Nutrient Intake (RNI) and Adequate Intake (AI) in both genders, and intakes of many micronutrients, except for vitamin E and sodium, were insufficient. Compared with those for local general population, TB patients’ intakes of all the macronutrients and micronutrients were lower (p<0.05) except total fat. In addition, Proportions of people with macronutrient or micronutrient intakes lower than RNI/AI were higher in TB patients than in general population except for Vitamin E intake. Being unemployed was a risk factor for low energy intake (p<0.05) and out-home-eating was a protective factor for low protein intake (p<0.01). Conclusions: In impoverished areas in China, intakes of macronutrients and most micronutrients in TB patients were less than those in general population. They were also inadequate compared with DRIs, especially in unemployed patients and patients eating at home. These findings suggested that the public health actions are needed to promote education on TB patients about significance of nutritional support, and, further interventions in TB patients’ nutritional intakes are also required.

“…But active tuberculosis occurs when the infection is no longer controlled by the immune system and can occur at any time after bacterial infection. The potential occurrence from latent tuberculosis to active tuberculosis later is about 5% to 10% in a healthy population and increases to about 50% in people with severe immune system damage such as infected Covid-19 or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection [5]. Therefore, WHO works together with many countries in reaching the goal of zero TB deaths among children worldwide [6].…”

The variation in the use of snakehead fish flour as food supplement continues to increase. This study aims to provide solutions to improve the nutritional intake of children with TB by analyzing the nutrient content in snakeheaded fish flour (Channa striata) as weight enhancing in Indonesia. Snakehead fish (Channa Striata) processing is divided into three types of supplements: original snakehead fish supplement (without any additional food), snakehead supplement which is varied with tofu dregs, and fish supplement which varied with turmeric extract. The results showed that snakehead fish has a yield of about 2.38-2.97%, and an edible portion of snakehead fish ranged from 50.35-55.12%. Snakeheaded fish contains 0.7% albumin extracted using a Hydrochloric Acid (HCL) solvent at a concentration of 0.25 M. Among the three types of flour, the nutritional content of the original cork fish meal showed the best results. The nutritional composition produced in snake-headed fish flour is 11.05% water content, 5.13% ash content, 79.62% protein, 4.93% fat content, and energy of 363 kcal. The protein content of snakehead fish flour is included in the Quality or Grade I (good) category based on the quality standard of fish flour (Indonesian National Standard 01-2715-1996. The results of the microbiological analysis showed that the snakeheaded fish flour product was free from contamination by pathogenic bacteria include Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and coliform bacteria. The high protein and energy content found in cork fish meals can be used as a basis to develop into a weight-enhancing supplement for children with tuberculosis.
