Increased risk factors associated with lower BMD in antiretroviral-therapy–naïve HIV-infected adult male

Abstract: Background Low BMD (bone mineral density) has been described as a non–AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)-related event in HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)-patients but it is poorly studied in young HIV-infected men who have received no previous antiretroviral therapy. Methods A cross-sectional study of 245 naïve-HIV-infected men over 21 and under 50 years old who voluntary attended the Infectious Disease Division appointment in Hospital F… Show more

“…A loss in bone mineral density, increased osteopenia and osteoporosis have been observed in PLWHIV in various recent studies., [16][17][18] A low BMD level, considering the person's chronological age, was found in at least one of the lumbar, total hip and femoral neck regions among 91 patients (40.6%) in this study. Bone demineralization was present in the femoral neck, total hip and lumbar regions in 26 (11.6%), 26 (11.6%) and 64 (28.6%) patients, respectively.…”

“…The prevalence of low BMD in this study is comparable to that in other studies that have described a high prevalence of low BMD in CLWH [ 8 , 19 ]. However, a prevalence rate as low as 4–7% has been reported in well-resourced countries [ 20 22 ]. Associated inadequate nutrition may have contributed to the higher prevalence of low BMD, given that our study population resides in a resource-limited setting, where balanced diets are not readily available [ 23 ].…”
