Nutritional deficiency and malabsorption syndrome can deepen the severity of anemia. The aim of the present study was to study anemia and nutritional status in patients with TB at a tertiary care center.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All patients diagnosed with TB (pulmonary and extrapulmonary), registered withRevised National TB Control Programme (RNTCP), taking DOTS regimen, attending the outpatient department as well as those admitted in the medicine and chest units of a tertiary care hospital, were enrolled in the present study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Anemia was more common between the age groups of 51 and 60 years, with distribution of males (87 [58%]), patients with diabetes (49 [32%]), and hypertensive patients (29 [19.3%]). In our study, 48 (85.7%) out of 56 patients diagnosed with extrapulmonary TB were found to have anemia; similarly, 77 (88.5%) out of 87 patients diagnosed to have pulmonary TB were anemic. Anemia of chronic disease (128 [97.17%]) was higher when compared to that of those with iron-deficiency anemia (3 [2.29%]). According to body mass index (BMI), 135 (90%) patients were underweight; according to mid-arm circumference (MAC), 131 (87.3%) patients had severe malnutrition; and according to waist\u2013hip ratio [WHR], 96 (64%) patients were underweight.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Anemia was common in males and alcoholics, and there was a high prevalence of anemia of chronic disease. In addition, anemia was associated with high erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein. High proportions of TB patients (pulmonary and extrapulmonary) were classified as underweight and malnourished on the basis of different parameters (BMI, MAC, and WHR); in addition, the degree of malnutrition was higher in patients with anemia than in those without.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijabmr.ijabmr_76_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,17]],"date-time":"2021-11-17T05:46:35Z","timestamp":1637127995000},"page":"226-230","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Anemia and Nutritional Status in Tuberculosis Patients"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Sandeep","family":"Chhabra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anil","family":"Kashyap","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monica","family":"Bhagat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rajesh","family":"Mahajan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suman","family":"Sethi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-5-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1009","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.163.9.1009","article-title":"The growing burden of tuberculosis: Global trends and interactions with the HIV epidemic","volume":"163","author":"Corbett","year":"2003","journal-title":"Arch Intern Med"},{"key":"R3-5-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"193","DOI":"10.5588\/ijtld.15.0558","article-title":"Anaemia in patients with HIV-associated TB: Relative contributions of anaemia of chronic disease and iron deficiency","volume":"20","author":"Kerkhoff","year":"2016","journal-title":"Int J Tuberc Lung Dis"},{"key":"R4-5-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"350","DOI":"10.3945\/jn.111.144287","article-title":"Iron deficiency and anemia predict mortality in patients with tuberculosis","volume":"142","author":"Isanaka","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Nutr"},{"key":"R5-5-20240902","first-page":"10e15","article-title":"Prevalence and characteristics of anemia in new cases of pulmonary tuberculosis in a tertiary care hospital in Uttarakhand, India","volume":"1","author":"Mukherjee","year":"2017","journal-title":"SRHU Med J"},{"key":"R6-5-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1028","DOI":"10.3346\/jkms.2006.21.6.1028","article-title":"The prevalence and evolution of anemia associated with tuberculosis","volume":"21","author":"Lee","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Korean Med Sci"},{"key":"R7-5-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"403","DOI":"10.1590\/S1806-37132014000400008","article-title":"Anemia in hospitalized patients with pulmonary tuberculosis","volume":"40","author":"Oliveira","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Bras Pneumol"},{"key":"R8-5-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"226","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcp\/85.2.226","article-title":"Red blood cell distribution width in the anemia secondary to tuberculosis","volume":"85","author":"Baynes","year":"1986","journal-title":"Am J Clin Pathol"},{"key":"R10-5-20240902","first-page":"180","article-title":"The nutritional status of patients with tuberculosis in comparison with tuberculosis-free contacts in Delft, Western Cape","volume":"25","author":"Lombardo","year":"2012","journal-title":"S Afr J Clin Nutr"},{"key":"R11-5-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"182","DOI":"10.4172\/2161-1068.1000182","article-title":"Outcome of tuberculosis treatment on measures of obesity and adiposity indices among the tribal's of Northeast India","volume":"5","author":"Tungdim","year":"2015","journal-title":"Mycobact Dis"},{"key":"R12-5-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.1177\/0884533610392380","article-title":"Subjective global assessment in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis","volume":"26","author":"Miyata","year":"2011","journal-title":"Nutr Clin Pract"}],"container-title":["International Journal of Applied &amp;
