Risk of Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis in Male Tuberculosis Survivors: Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

Abstract: Short-term prospective studies have suggested that pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) preludes permanent loss of lean tissue and fat mass even when TB treatment is effective. The aim of this study was to estimate the risk of sarcopenia and osteoporosis among Korean male TB survivors. Data of the population-based, Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) (2008–2011) were analyzed, including 3,228 males aged 50 years or older who underwent chest X-ray (CXR) and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (… Show more

“…However, the TB burden is still not as low as that in other OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries. TB-related mortality is also continuously decreasing in South Korea [ 20 ]; however, PTB survivors face other malnutrition-related medical problems in the future even after the end of treatment [ 21 ]. Thus, it is necessary to better understand not only anti-TB treatment but also host-related responses, including nutritional changes.…”

“…Until 2016, ICD-10-CM give sarcopenia a code of M62.84 and a clear definition (29). Compared with old people, young patients with sarcopenia are often on dialysis or have comorbid disease, such as cancer, tuberculosis and inflammatory bowel disease (30)(31)(32). Sarcopenia can also inflict significant burden in terms of medical expenses (33).…”
