Longitudinal study of body composition of 101 HIV men with lipodystrophy: dual-energy X-ray criteria for lipodystrophy evolution.

The aim of this study was to define evolution profiles of body composition among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected men with lipodystrophy. The design is a retrospective analysis using observational data collected longitudinally. We included 101 HIV-infected men with lipodystrophy managed in routine practice and who had 2 dual energy X-ray absorptiometry scans within a minimum interval of 18 mo.
