Title

EVALUATION AND COMPARISON OF BODY MASS INDEX AND ALBUMIN LEVEL IN PATIENTS WITH ACTIVE TUBERCULOSIS AND LATENT TUBERCULOSIS INFECTION

Pages

  437-439

Abstract

 Introduction: Limited data are available on the relationship betweennutritional status and TUBERCULOSIS. The aim of this study was to evaluateand compare the BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) and serum ALBUMIN level inpatients with active TUBERCULOSIS (ATB) and latent TUBERCULOSIS (LTB).Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 17patients newly diagnosed with pulmonary TB who were referred in Iran, during September 2011 to March 2012 and 17 latent TUBERCULOSISinfection individuals. Standard method was performed to collect an earlymorning fasting blood sample for ALBUMIN (by the bromocresolgreenmethod). Also (BMI) was calculated as body weight divided by heightsquared (kg/m2).Results: One-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check normaldistribution data The mean ± Standard deviation (SD) for ALBUMIN in thepatients and controls were 3.62±0/56 and 4.68±0.25, respectively. BMI inthe patients and controls were 19.46±2.79 and 25.4±3.46, respectively.The serum ALBUMIN level was significantly lower in the patient group, compared to the control group (P<0.001).BMI was significantly lower inthe patient group, compared to the control group (P<0.001).Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that BMI and serum ALBUMIN weresignificantly lower in the active TUBERCULOSIS patients than latent TUBERCULOSISgroups.
