“…Concerning the results of this study, most patients had normal nutritional status. The survey by Iheme (2023) based on the results of this study, it was also found that as many as 65% of HIV patients also had tuberculosis, which means that these patients were also undergoing TB-HIV treatment. In 2015, the success of TB-HIV treatment reached 88.5% (Ambadekar et al, 2015;Ali et al, 2016).…”

“…According to reports from the WHO, ARV may affect and progress non-communicable diseases that can cause a multimorbidity (Hadavandsiri et al, 2023). ARV consumption is proven to be able to increase the appetite of every HIV/AIDS patient, which will improve the patient's nutritional status (Iheme, 2023).…”

People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) can have better health outcomes with early identification of the AIDS phase. In the first three years, PLWHA may progress to the AIDS stage. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the relationship between multimorbidity, nutritional status and duration of Antiretroviral (ARV) treatment on major signs of PLWHA. This study was conducted in the Intermediate and Infectious Disease Treatment Unit (UPIPI) at regional public hospital (RSUD) Dr. Soetomo Surabaya from January to February 2023. As many as 52 PLWHA who started HIV treatment at RSUD Dr. Soetomo in 2020 to 2021 were sampled in this study, which was obtained from medical records. The dependent variable in this study was the major sign of HIV. Independent variables in this study were multimorbidity, nutritional status, and the duration of ARV treatment. This study found that 76.9% of PLWHA experienced major signs. Multimorbidity and duration of ARV treatment did not have an association with major signs of HIV (p-value > 0.05). Nutritional status has a significant association with major clinical symptoms of HIV (p-value < 0.05). PLWHA with underweight had higher odds of having a major sign (p-value = 0.017; PR = 1.507; 95% CI 1.131-2.008) than PLWHA with normal nutritional status. Thereby, it is hoped that the hospital will be assisted in determining health promotion needs such as screening and evaluation of nutritional status to monitor the nutritional status of patients, which will improve their health outcomes.

Background: Health-related physical fitness has been widely used to investigate the adverse effects of HIV infection/ART in children and adolescents. However, methods/protocols and cut-points applied for investigating health-related physical fitness are not clear. The aim of this scoping review was to map the literature to identify gaps in knowledge regarding the methods/protocols and cut-points. Methods: A scoping review, following the Joana Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines, was conducted through ten major databases. Search followed the PCC strategy to construct block of terms related to population (children and adolescents), concept (health-related physical fitness components) and context (HIV infection). Results: The search resulted in 7545 studies. After duplicate removal, titles and abstracts reading and full text assessment, 246 studies were included in the scoping review. Body composition was the most investigated component (n= 244), followed by muscular strength/endurance (n = 23), cardiorespiratory fitness (n = 15) and flexibility (n = 4). The World Health Organization growth curves, and nationals’ surveys were the most reference values applied to classify body composition (n = 149), followed by internal cut-points (n = 30) and cut-points developed through small populations (n = 16). Cardiorespiratory fitness was classified through cut-points from three different assessment batteries, as well as cut-points developed through studies with small populations, muscular strength/endurance and flexibility were classified through the same cut-points from five different assessment batteries. Conclusions: The research on muscular strength/endurance, cardiorespiratory fitness and flexibility has been scarcely explored. The lack of studies that investigated method usability as well as reference values was evidenced.

Background Although people living with HIV (PLWH) now have a longer life expectancy due to antiretroviral therapy, several factors impact their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Understanding the dimensions and determinants of HRQoL among PLWH is crucial to developing solutions to improve their overall wellbeing. Aim This research aimed to explore the HRQoL and its associated factors among PLWH in Lagos, Nigeria. Setting Seven HIV testing and treatment centres in Lagos. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 385 participants. Socio-demographic and HRQoL data were obtained using questionnaires and the Medical Outcomes Study HIV Health Survey (MOS-HIV). Logistic regression models were used to identify variables that were associated with quality of life. Results The physical health summary and mental health summary scores measured by the MOS-HIV were 54.2 ± 5.3 and 56.3 ± 6.7, respectively. Being married, having higher levels of education, shorter duration of HIV and higher income levels were significantly associated with better HRQoL. The duration of HIV was found to have an inversely proportional influence on the quality of life of PLWH, both in physical health (χ 2 = 9.477, p = 0.009) and mental health (χ 2 = 11.88, p = 0.004) dimensions. Conclusion The HRQoL of PLWH in Lagos, Nigeria was relatively low. Education, duration of HIV, marital status and income level are predictors of HRQoL. Contribution This study is valuable for healthcare professionals and policymakers, providing them with essential information to tailor interventions and allocate resources effectively to improve the overall wellbeing of PLWH in Nigeria.
