Evaluation of bone mineral density and its influencing factors in patients infected with HIV under antiretroviral therapy. BMC Infect Dis 2025;25:33. [PMID: 39762767 PMCID: PMC11706035 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-024-10388-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 12/21/2024] [Indexed: 01/11/2025] Open

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Reduced Bone Mineral Density (BMD) has been linked to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and treatment. There is a lack of information regarding the osteoporosis status of middle-aged patients with HIV in Iran, despite the fact that Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) is widely accessible.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to assess the BMD status and low BMD risk factors in patients with HIV under ART living in Iran.

METHODS

Data were collected from individuals diagnosed with HIV aged 30-50, receiving ART for at least 6 months. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans assessed BMD in femoral neck, total hip, and lumbar regions. Pearson's correlation coefficients identified relationships between BMD and demographic and laboratory predictors. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models assessed predictors of low lumbar BMD.

RESULTS

Among 80 HIV-infected individuals (mean age: 41.1 ± 5.6 years, 60.4% male), 15% exhibited low BMD in the lumbar spine and 3.75% in the femoral neck. Serum phosphate levels were negatively correlated with BMD across the femoral neck, total hip, and lumbar regions (e.g., lumbar BMD: r = -0.24, p = 0.03). Parathyroid hormone (PTH) showed negative correlations with femoral neck and total hip BMD (r = -0.26, p = 0.01; r = -0.29, p = 0.01, respectively). Estradiol positively correlated with lumbar BMD in females (r = 0.36, p = 0.04), and BMI positively correlated with BMD in all regions (e.g., lumbar: r = 0.41, p = 0.001). Testosterone was inversely associated with the odds of lumbar low BMD (OR [95% CI] = 0.79 [0.62-0.96], p = 0.02). Duration of HIV or treatment, CD4 levels, and viral load were not significantly associated with BMD.

CONCLUSION

This study highlights the multifactorial nature of BMD changes in individuals living with HIV. By identifying correlations between metabolic, hormonal, and disease-related factors and bone health, our findings bring attention to an often-overlooked aspect of HIV management, that is patients with HIV may benefit from routine BMD screening, as it could help identify early risks of low BMD.

Abstract

We performed a cross-sectional study in 212 PLHIV under antiretroviral therapy. Bone mass was compromised in 36.5% of relatively young sample and associated with hypogonadism, older age, higher PTH levels, and metabolic syndrome. Hypovitaminosis D was present in 85%, especially those on NNRTI.

PURPOSE

Previous studies have reported an increased prevalence of bone demineralization among people living with the human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV). We aimed to assess bone mineral density (BMD), vitamin D levels, and associated risk factors in Brazilian PLHIV.

METHODS

Cross-sectional study with 212 patients in a specialized assistance service. Clinical and demographic information were registered. Laboratory tests were performed, and BMD was measured at the lumbar spine, total hip/femoral neck, and forearm by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Participants were classified into "with low bone mass (wLBM)" and "without low bone mass (woLBM)." Those wLBM encompasses osteoporosis, osteopenia, and below the expected range for age as recommended by the World Health Organization.

RESULTS

One hundred and eighty-seven patients were included. Median age was 46.3 years (interquartile range (IQR) 40-52) and duration of HAART exposure was 11.2 years (IQR 7-15). Plasma viral load was undetectable in 79%. Hypovitaminosis D (< 30 ng/mL) was present in 85% and LBM in 36.5%. Men wLBM were more likely to have testosterone deficiency and had higher PTH levels than those woLBM. LBM in women was associated with older age, menopause, and metabolic syndrome.

CONCLUSION

This study showed a high frequency of LBM in a relatively young sample, and suggests a detrimental effect of hypogonadism, older age, higher PTH levels, and metabolic syndrome. Hypovitaminosis D was frequent, especially those on non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, higher body mass index, and abdominal circumference.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE

Our objective was to estimate the frequency of comorbidities and assess its relationship with exposure factors after a long-term of ART use.

METHODS

: A cross-sectional study with PLHIV (≥18 years-old), who initiated ART between 2001-2005 and attended an HIV/AIDS public-referral center (Belo Horizonte/Brazil) was performed. Demographic, clinical, therapeutic and lifestyle data were obtained through interviews, medical charts, public database, routine laboratory exams and bone densitometry. The outcome was the number of comorbidities: hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, systemic arterial-hypertension (SAH) and low bone mineral density (BMD). Absolute/relative frequencies were calculated. Factors associated with the outcome were assessed by quasi-Poisson regression. RESULTS: Of the 98 participants, 53% were male, 79% over 43 years-old. Moderate physical-activity was observed in 82%, overweight/obesity in 50% and 58% used ART based on two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) plus one non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). After a mean of 15.6 years of ART exposure, 207 comorbidities were identified and 93% participants presented at least one comorbidity (mean=2.1/participant). The most frequent overlapping was composed by two co-occurrences: dyslipidemia+hyperglycemia or dyslipidemia+SAH, n=36 in each co-occurrence. The quasi-Poisson regression showed an increase of 3% in the number of comorbidities per year of age (OR=1.03;95%CI=1.02-1.04) and 84% among PLHIV on moderate physical-activity (ref=heavy physical-activity) (OR=1.84;95%CI=1.08-3.13).

CONCLUSIONS

Our study shows that the aging slightly contributed to comorbidities. However, the practice of physical-activities is crucial to prevent chronic-diseases. Treatment and preventive measures should be encouraged to diminish the burden of disease and improve quality of life among PLHIV.
