ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
HIV and non-HIV-related factors have been related to weight gain (WG); however, their specific impact on people with HIV (PWH) who are overweight or obese remains unclear.METHODS:
This is a single-center observational study enrolling PWH with a BMI > 25 kg/m2. A generalized linear model was used to assess variables related to greater WG during 12 years of observation.RESULTS:
A total of 321 PWH were enrolled, 67% overweight and 33% obese, who gained an average of 0.2 ± 1.3 and 1.7 ± 1.5 kg/year, respectively (p < 0.0001). Years since HIV infection were the only variable significantly associated with WG (ß -0.048, 95% CI -0.083; -0.013) during the study period, while type of ART did not influence the outcome. Narrowing the observation to the period of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, PWH with a longer duration of infection (ß 0.075, 95% CI 0.033; 0.117) and a greater increase in triglycerides (ß 0.005; 95% CI 0.000; 0.011) gained more weight, while higher BMI (ß -0.256, 95% CI -0.352; -0.160), obesity (ß -1.363, 95% CI -2.319; -0.408), diabetes mellitus (ß -1.538, 95% CI -2.797; -0.278), and greater abdominal circumference (ß -0.086, 95% CI -0.142; -0.030) resulted in protection.CONCLUSION:
Among overweight and obese PWH, the amount of WG was higher in the first years after diagnosis of HIV and decreased thereafter, despite aging, regardless of the type of ART.
