Abstract

TB is infectious disease is associated with the anthropometric measurements. TB patients treated under the directly observed treatment short course (DOTS) programme. The objective to identify the effects of weight gain among the TB patients.

Methods TB patients register under DOTs centre in Delhi. Statically t test used to determine variable for analysis.

Results Presents mean and SD value for anthropometry measurements according to age group in migrated population significant difference observed for body mass index in age group 36-40yrs. mean value for male (17.41±3.33) and female (20.25±4.43).significant difference also observed for waist hip ratio in age group 26-30 yrs. mean value for male (0.92±0.24) and female (0.83±0.07) and age group 36-40 yrs. mean value for male (0.91±0.07) and female (0.83±0.08).

Conclusion: The findings showed that there is association between weight gain in TB in Dots centre.
