Resumo
PEINADO, Jesus et al. Association between overweight/obesity and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Rev. perú. med. exp. salud publica [online]. 2023, vol.40, n.1, pp.59-66. Epub 30-Mar-2023. ISSN 1726-4634. http://dx.doi.org/10.17843/rpmesp.2023.401.12138.
Objective.
To evaluate the association between overweight/obesity and multidrug resistance in patients with and without a history of tuberculosis treatment.
Materials and methods.
Cross-sectional study of secondary data from a tuberculosis cohort, which included anthropometric and drug-sensitivity testing data at the baseline visit of patients with and without previous tuberculosis treatment.
Results.
We evaluated 3,734 new cases and 766 with a history of having received treatment for tuberculosis. Overweight/obesity was not associated with multidrug resistance in patients with a history of tuberculosis treatment, with a prevalence ratio of 0.97 and a 95% confidence interval of 0.68-1.38.
Conclusions.
Overweight/obesity is not associated with multidrug resistance in tuberculosis. Overweight/obesity is a dynamic process that may influence the relationship between the immune system and the metabolic system.
