Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) conversion is a vital milestone that remains rarely assessed in TB mitigation
programs. Objectives: This study aimed to explain the effects of body mass index (BMI) and housing index
status on TB conversion in a developing country. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 51 TB
patients in the three health centres (Puskesmas) with the highest TB incidences in Kendari City, Southeast
Sulawesi, Indonesia, using data reported in the the first quarterly report of 2008. We used bivariate association
with Fisher’s exact test to review TB conversion determinants. Results: The results indicated that TB occurred
predominantly in men (51%) and people over 40 years old (74,5%). Factors indicating that TB conversion is
associated with both adequate nutrition and housing in TB patients approached significance (RP = 1.0 and p =
0.05). Conclusions: However, housing and nutrition status are rarely considered as determinants of TB
conversion in the assessment of TB outcomes. We suggest increasing sample distribution and introducing other
factors related to healthcare as supply variables for further study.
