Summary

Tuberculosis patients that have complications (e.g., diabetes mellitus and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)) who live in tropical regions experience vitamin D deficiency, especially in North Sumatra, Indonesia. The presence of vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphism genes, TaqI and FokI, is one of the predisposing factors, as is high levels of inflammatory markers, also indicating disease progression and malnutrition. This study aims to assess the effect of 50 g of soy-catfish-anchovy-rice (SCAR) porridge per day for 14 days on 25(OH)D, calcium, and biomolecular serum levels in patients with VDR gene polymorphisms (TaqI or FokI). The study was a parallel, open, clinical trial. A total of 43 subjects with the VDR gene polymorphisms were selected. The subjects were divided into two groups using block randomization. There were 22 subjects in the intervention group (I) who received 50 g of SCAR porridge once per day, along with dietary counseling, and 21 subjects in the control group (C) who only received dietary counseling.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

SCAR Porridge

The treatment group was given SCAR porridge supplementation in the form of a soft porridge (a mixture of 50 g dry powder porridge added to 200 mL of hot water) along with nutritional counseling. The control group only received nutritional counseling and no SCAR porridge supplementation. A 50 g portion of SCAR porridge was provided once a day for 14 days. The SCAR porridge was monitored and administered by a researcher once a week to inquire about adherence to the supplementation consumption and perceived side effects. All research subjects went through a clearance period of one week and were requested not to consume any supplements.
