AbstractThe primary purpose of present study is to “prove” that the angle and distance between the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and aorta are significantly correlated with the body mass index (BMI). This in turn indicates the strong etiological role of this factor for the causation of SMA syndrome. The superior mesenteric artery syndrome is characterized by the compression of the third segment of the duodenum by the mesentery at superior mesenteric artery level and a resulting duodenal (±gastric) dilatation. The disease is closely related with the depletion of the fat pad between the vessels narrowing the angle and reducing the distance between the vessels. A prospective study of 300 patients (163 males and 137 females) in the age range of 40-70  years (mean age 51 years) who had undergone multislice detector CT scan in Alzahra Hospital for various other complaints in the year 1395. CT scans had been performed with routine protocol comprising of plain phase followed by arterial and venous phases to measure the angle between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery,BMI was also calculated. Mean values for distance and angle were obtained with P value of 5%  and 95 % confidence intervals. Pearson coefficients and T test were also calculated and results were tabulated. A strong positive correlation was observed between BMI and the angle between the aorta and SMA. With increment in BMI, the angle also increases leading to a smaller chance of developing superior mesenteric artery syndrome.

<p>Background<br />Tuberculosis (TB) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in middle- and low-income countries. The risk of developing TB may be related to nutritional status. Socioeconomic and behavioral factors are also shown to increase the susceptibility to TB infection. The objective of this study was to determine nutritional factors as risk factors of pulmonary TB in adult.</p><p>Methods<br />This was an observational study of case control design. The study subjects were community members consisting of 19 adult cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and 38 controls. Data on nutritional intakes were obtained by semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), while smoking behavior, history of DM, body mass index, education, and income were obtained by structured interviews. The data were analyzed by independent t-test and logistic regression for calculation of the odds ratio (OR).</p><p>Results<br />The bivariate test showed that the adequacy levels for energy (OR=6.8; 95% CI: 1.51-30.54), protein (OR=5.1; 95% CI: 1.52-17.14), vitamin A (OR=4.2; 5% CI: 1.31-13.54), vitamin C (OR=3.8;95% CI: 1.21-12.36), selenium (OR=4.2; 95% CI: 1.34-13.58), body mass index (OR=4.4; 95% CI: 1.32-14.35) and smoking behavior (OR=3.7; 95% CI: 1.15-11.9), were significant risk factors for pulmonary tuberculosis. Multiple logistic regression test showed that low body mass index (&lt;18.5 kg/m2) (OR=6.0; 95% CI: 1.32-27.18) was a the most influential risk factor of pulmonary tuberculosis.</p><p>Conclusion<br />Low body mass index is the most influential risk factor for pulmonary tuberculosis incidence in adult. Nutrition profile in adult is an important determinant of TB incidence.</p>
