Anthropometric measures as indicators of the nutritional status of people living with HIV
ABSTRACT Several studies have noted the increased survival time of people living with HIV (PLH) after the use of antiretroviral therapy. However, impacts on nutritional status (NS) have not been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between anthropometric measures as indica...

However, impacts on nutritional status (NS) have not been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between anthropometric measures as indicators of the NS of PLH.

According to BMI, 48.6% (n= 17) of patients were eutrophic, using criteria based on TSF, MAC and MAMC resulted in 57.1% (n= 20), 48.6 (n= 17) and 48.6%(n= 17) being classified as underweight, respectively. Prevalence of WC-defined central obesity and NC defined central obesity were 42.9% and 37.1 %, respectively.
