Good nutrition reduces TB incidence, curbs mortality, says new Lancet study
New evidence from Reducing Activation of Tuberculosis by Improvement of Nutritional Status (RATIONS) trial shows that improved nutrition among contacts of patients with infectious lung TB can reduce the incidence of all forms of TB by 40 per cent and of infectious TB by nearly 50 per cent. Significantly, it also found that early weight gain in underweight patients with TB can reduce their risk of mortality by 60 per cent
