The Fat of the Matter: Obesity and Visceral Adiposity in Treated HIV Infection

Abstract: Purpose of Review To summarize knowledge of the prevalence, relevant physiology and consequences of obesity and visceral adiposity in HIV-infected adults, including highlighting gaps in current knowledge and future research directions. Recent Findings Similar to the general population, obesity prevalence is increasing among HIV-infected persons, and obesity and visceral adiposity are associated with numerous metabolic and inflammatory sequelae. However, HIV- and antiretroviral therapy (ART)-specific factors … Show more

“…The association between dolutegravir or raltegravir vs elvitegravir use and weight gain was confirmed in observational cohorts of PLWH initiated with ART [9,10,11]. Weight gain following ART initiation could be attributable in part to a "return to health" phenomenon, but is also clearly associated with individual INSTI and with personal factors as sex and ethnicity [12].…”

“…Weight gain following ART initiation could be attributable in part to a "return to health" phenomenon in patients with severe HIV infection, but this is not the case for switched patients. Weight gain is also associated with personal factors as sex, age and ethnicity [4,49]. This increased weight has been associated, for DTG and raltegravir, with a decreased circulating level of the adipokine adiponectin [13,50], an insulin-sensitizing and anti-inflammatory adipokine, suggesting a deleterious impact of these INSTIs on adipose tissue.…”

“…In the past, the development of lipodystrophy was partially related to drugs (i.e., stavudine and zidovudine) included in the treatment regimen, but it is also influenced by age, CD4 levels, viral load, therapy duration, and race (especially caucasians). Remarkably, the new classes of cART and inhibitors (fusion, integrase, and entry) do not alter the metabolic parameters of fat distribution ( 1 , 50 ).…”
