Weight loss and body-composition changes in men and women infected with HIV.
BACKGROUND The nature of body-composition changes in HIV-associated weight loss is unclear. OBJECTIVE We examined the relation between the initial percentage of body fat and the composition of weight loss in men and women with HIV infection. DESIGN HIV-positive adults were seen at semiannual clinic visits, at which time weight, fat, and fat-free mass were determined. The unit of analysis wa...
متن کاملBody composition changes during lactation in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected South African women.

METHODS Fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) using bioimpedance spectrometry (BIS) and anthropometric measurements were obtained at 8 and 24 weeks postpartum in 92 HIV-infected (HIVpos) and 50 HIV-unin...
متن کاملWeight and body composition in a cohort of HIV-positive men and women.
OBJECTIVE At issue is whether weight loss in HIV infection is a cachectic process, characterised by loss of lean body mass with conservation of fat, or a process of starvation. We present data on body composition from 516 persons at different stages of HIV infection as determined by CD4 counts. DESIGN Cross-sectional analyses of body composition in relation to CD4 count. SETTING The baselin...
متن کاملAir displacement plethysmography for estimating body composition changes with weight loss in middle-aged Japanese men.
AIM To examine the degree to which air displacement plethysmography (ADP) can track body composition changes in response to weight loss in obese Japanese men. METHOD 50 men, aged 30-65 years with a mean BMI of 30 kg/m(2), were included in a 3-month weight loss program. Percentage of fat mass (%FM) was determined by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and ADP at baseline and month 3. RESU...
متن کاملBody composition and metabolic effects of a diet and exercise weight loss regimen on obese, HIV-infected women.
HIV has classically been a wasting disease. However, in the United States, obesity is increasingly common among HIV-infected individuals receiving effective antiviral treatment. The risks of obesity are unclear in HIV, although the increased prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the presence or absence of obesity causes growing concern. This study aimed to assess the effects of w...
