N2 - Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health concern globally, with high prevalence in Indonesia. The functional status of TB patients is commonly assessed using Karnofsky Score. However, the correlations between iron intake, hemoglobin levels, and Karnofsky Score in pulmonary TB patients at RSUP Persahabatan have not been investigated. This study aimed to examine iron intake and hemoglobin levelsand their possible correlations with the Karnofsky Score in pulmonary TB patients at RSUP Persahabatan.A total of 108 outpatient TB patients were included in the study. Data on iron intake, hemoglobin levels,and Karnofsky Score were collected through interviews, dietary assessments, and anthropometric measurements. Statistical analyses involved univariate and bivariate correlation tests. The majority ofsubjects had insufficient iron intake (74.1%), normal hemoglobin levels (56.5%), and Karnofsky Score of 80 percent (30.6%). However, this study did not identify significant relationships between iron intake, hemoglobin levels, and Karnofsky Score in pulmonary TB patients at RSUP Persahabatan. These findings suggest that other factors may influence the functional status of TB patients, highlighting the need for further research. Understanding the characteristics and nutritional requirements of TB patients is crucialfor effective management and control strategies.
