Implication

Systematic review reveals low body mass index increases mortality risk in TB-HIV co-infected patients across Asia and Africa, suggesting urgent nutritional interventions.

Key Points

Low BMI significantly increases mortality risk among TB-HIV co-infected patients in Asia and Africa, highlighting a need for nutritional interventions.
Patients with BMI below 18.5 kg/m² exhibited a 10% higher mortality risk compared to those with normal BMI, revealing a concerning trend.
This systematic review analyzed eleven cohort studies published from 2000 to 2024, ensuring comprehensive evidence on this association.
Routine nutritional screening and targeted interventions are crucial for managing TB-HIV co-infected individuals in both regions, aiming to improve outcomes.
