Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that can cause metabolic disturbances, including dyslipidemia, characterized by elevated triglyceride levels. Patients with DM are also at higher risk of developing tuberculosis (TB) due to compromised immune function. Body Mass Index (BMI), which reflects nutritional status, may influence triglyceride levels. In several studies on normal people, diabetics or the elderly, increasing BMI will be accompanied by an increase in triglycerides. This study aims to analyze the relationship between triglyceride levels and BMI in DM patients with TB in Dr. Soetomo Hospital from 2021 to 2022. Methods: 38 diabetic patients with tuberculosis, from 2021 to 2022, at Dr. Sutomo Hospital in Surabaya, were conducted in a cross-sectional study to determine the relationship between BMI and triglycerides. Results: There were an increase in triglyceride levels in each underweight, normoweight and overweight group werw 143.48(SD±57.83), 173.74 (SD±75.74) and 183.80 (SD±98.61), respectively. There was no a significant difference in body weight in each group (p=30). However, the increase was not significant. And when a correlation study was conducted between BMI and triglycerides, the results were also not significant (p=0,83). Conclusion: The absence of differences in triglyceride levels in each BMI group is possible due to the use of triglycerides for the formation of granuloma triglyserides syntesis in diabetics with tuberculosis. Keywords: Tuberculosis, Diabetes Mellitus, Triglyceride, Body Mass Index
