Body Composition and Metabolic Syndrome Components on Lipodystrophy Different Subtypes Associated with HIV

HIV-associated lipodystrophy syndrome (HALS) is characterized by body fat redistribution as a consequence of the antiretroviral therapy (ART) introduction, associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease development. Subjective diagnosis, classified between three subtypes according to the body region on which fat is lost and/or accumulated, named lipoatrophy, lipohypertrophy, and mi...

Metabolic syndrome in HIV-associated lipodystrophy

Objectives The aim of our study was to describe the interaction and the overlapping features of lipodystrophy and metabolic syndrome in HIV-infected patients and verify the role of HIV viremia (viral load) on the development of metabolic abnormalities related to these conditions. Methods Cross sectional study of consecutive HIV-patients attending the Metabolic Clinic (MC) of Modena University (...

Association between Metabolic Syndrome Criteria and Body-composition Components in Children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Background Metabolic syndrome (MES) consists of central obesity, hypertension, reduced high density lipoprotein (HDL), elevated serum triglycerides and high Fasting blood sugar (FBS). They are susceptible to cardio-vascular disease, and insulin resistance. The goal of present research was to assess any relation between the composition of the body in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) children and ...

HIV-associated lipodystrophy syndrome.

In recent years, lipodystrophy and its related complications have become one of the major problems confronting HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy. More than ten years after having been described for the first time, comprehensive knowledge of its underlying molecular basis, the natural history of body fat changes and metabolic abnormalities, and even a working definition of lipodyst...
