ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the changes of body composition in females patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related lipodystrophy (LD) syndrome (HIV-LD).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Totally 25 female patients who were treated in our hospital from January 2002 to December 2009 were divided into LD group and non-LD group based on the existence of LD. All these patients were receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). In addition, 12 healthy women were set as the controls. Total and regional body composition were measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry in all three groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The fat mass (FM) was correlated negatively with the duration of HAART (r=-0.431, P=0.029). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that FM had positive correlation with weight and negative correlation with lean mass (LM) (r = - 0. 973, P =0. 000). Total, trunk and leg FM were significantly lower in LD patients than that in controls (P <0.05).Meanwhile, total, trunk and leg bone mineral contents were statistically lower in LD patients than that in controls (P <0. 05). Lumbar bone mineral density of LD patients was lower than that of non-LD patients and controls, and there was significant difference between LD patients and controls (P = 0. 001). LM of LD patients was higher than that of non-LD patients but without statistical difference (P > 0. 05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The peripheral and central FM and bone mineral contents remarkably decrease in female patients with HIV-LD. How-ever, HIV-LD patients tend to have higher LM than non-LD patients. .</p>
