Non-communicable disease comorbidities and risk factors among tuberculosis patients, Meghalaya, India.
Indian Journal of Tuberculosis 2016 April
We did cross-sectional study to estimate the prevalence of tobacco, alcohol use, hypertension and diabetes among tuberculosis (TB) patients in comparison to the non-TB patients in East Garo Hills District, Meghalaya, India. We surveyed 110 TB patients attending outpatient TB clinic and 110 age/sex matched non-TB subjects from the general outpatient department as comparison group. Prevalence of ever smoking was 74.5% and 55.4%; alcohol consumption 31.0% and 22.3%; hypertension 24.5% and 17.3%; diabetes 7.5%, 4.5% among TB patients and non-TB subjects, respectively. NCD and TB programmes need integration in the primary care for screening, counselling and treatment of NCD comorbidities.
