Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess fat accumulation in children with HIV/AIDS on long term HAART using CDC defined Body mass Index (BMI) criteria and measured Bioelectric Impedance (BI). METHODS: Prospective study of 48 HIV infected children (ages 6-15 years) on HAART to determine the incidence of lipodystrophy and evaluate methods of determining body fat accumulation. Lipodystrophy was diagnosed using clinical features-truncal obesity with facial/limb wasting. BMI (weight in kg/height in meters2) was plotted on CDC curves to predict the risk of obesity. BI was performed using Omron's HBF301 body fat analyzer and reported as TBF %/height. Serum cholesterol and triglycerides were measured. Results were compared using ANOVA RESULTS: Average duration of HAART was 2.4 years. Forty five of 48 patients were on protease inhibitors. Fifteen (31%) developed Lipodystrophy, but CDC BMI curves identify only 7/15 as overweight or at risk for obesity. However, TBF/Ht of 30% (using BI) was 85% sensitive and 88% specific in identifying Lipodystrophy. Hyperlipidemia occurred in 28/48 (58%) overall, in 14/15 (93%) diagnosed with lipodystrophy. CONCLUSION: Lipodystrophy is a significant problem in children with HIV/AIDS on HAART. BI is more useful than BMI in identifying patients with abnormal fat accumulation and should be incorporated in their routine assessment in the ambulatory setting.
