Objectives
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 poverty 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 and protein 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 lower macronutrient or micronutrient intakes were higher in TB patients than in general population except for Vitamin E intake. Being unemployed was a risk factor for low energy intake and higher household income level was a protective factor (p<0.05), and out-home-eating was a protective factor for low protein intake (p<0.01).
Conclusions
In poor areas in China, the intakes of macronutrients and most micronutrients in TB patients were less than in general population, and were inadequate compared with DRIs, especially unemployed patients and patients with low household income level, suggesting the importance of health promotion to TB patients about significance of nutrition and further interventions in TB patients’ nutritional intakes.
