Increasing rates of obesity among HIV-infected persons during the HIV epidemic

The prevalence and factors associated with overweight/obesity among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons are unknown. We evaluated prospective data from a U.S. Military HIV Natural History Study (1985-2004) consisting of early diagnosed patients. Statistics included multivariate linea...

Description
Summary:The prevalence and factors associated with overweight/obesity among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons are unknown. We evaluated prospective data from a U.S. Military HIV Natural History Study (1985-2004) consisting of early diagnosed patients. Statistics included multivariate linear regression and longitudinal linear mixed effects models. Of 1682 patients, 2% were underweight, 37% were overweight, and 9% were obese at HIV diagnosis. Multivariate predictors of a higher body mass index (BMI) at diagnosis included more recent year of HIV diagnosis, older age, African American race, and earlier HIV stage (all p
