Article Synopsis
- The study examined body composition changes in older men living with HIV who were switched to integrase inhibitors (INSTI) compared to those on non-INSTI regimens.
- Using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and plasma marker measurements, researchers found that INSTI users had lower fat levels, but this difference was largely linked to socioeconomic status (SES) factors.
- Overall, while INSTI treatment showed some benefits in reducing fat, the effects were not significant after considering SES, indicating that social factors play a major role in health outcomes for this population.
