“…The authors reported a not statistically different frequency of lipoatrophy between HIV-infected children on ARV therapy (16.3%) and HIV-infected antiretroviral therapy-naïve children (21.5%); while a significantly higher rate of LH and hypercholesterolemia was noted in HIV-children on ARV compared to the controls (p < 0.05) [36]. These results confirmed previous researches in different countries [37,39,40]. Lipodystrophy in these patients may represent an increased risk for future complications, in particular cardiovascular problem, thus it is pertinent to underline the importance of multidisciplinary care for HIV-infected children and adolescents, in order to minimize the risk of the development of future metabolic complications [35,37,41].…”

“…These metabolic complications can occur in children infected with perinatal HIV, thus affecting the quality of life and long-term adherence to treatment. Therefore, HIV children who have been using ARV for a long time need to be monitored for lipid profile, by identifying LD early and maintaining heart and bone health (29)(30).…”

“…Worldwide, lipoatrophy was reported to affect 13.3 %–52.9 % of people living with HIV (PLWH) [ [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] ]. The prevalence of lipodystrophy in India ranges from 22 to 60.7 % [ 7 , 8 ]. Long-term lipodystrophy is linked to cardiovascular disease risk (CVD) [ 9 ].…”
