Brief communication: body composition and hidden obesity in people living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy
CONCLUSIONS: PLWH are more likely to have obesity than the general population, indicating that hidden obesity is common even among those with a normal BMI. It is important to measure body fat percentage along with body weight, as hidden obesity can be missed. Further investigation of the effects of ART on body composition is needed.PMID:38429716 | PMC:PMC10905848 | DOI:10.1186/s12981-024-00599-3
