A new study from a team at the Cornell Joan Klein Jacobs Center for Precision Nutrition and Health in @CornellCHE contributes to the growing evidence that nutrition should be treated as a core part of tuberculosis care – not an afterthought (1/5).

The research, conducted in India, explores how the body’s metabolism shifts throughout treatment for TB and suggests that malnutrition could directly affect how well patients respond to therapy (2/5).

The findings, led by postdoctoral fellow Catherine Kagemann, arrive just as the World Health Organization released sweeping new guidelines in October. The guidelines urge countries to integrate nutritional assessment and support into all tuberculosis programs, a major shift in global TB policy (3/5).
