To assess the effect of obesity on CD4 cell counts, we estimated the association of time-updated BMI categories with CD4 changes among 1001 documented HIV seroconverters. During the pre-highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era, a higher BMI was associated with less reduction in CD4 cell counts over time. However during the HAART era, obese versus normal weight patients had smaller increases in CD4 cell counts (+69 versus +116 cells, P = 0.01). Lower CD4 cell counts may now be another adverse consequence of obesity.
为了评估肥胖对 CD4 细胞计数的影响,我们估计了时间更新的 BMI 类别与 1001 名确诊 HIV 感染者中 CD4 变化的关联。在高效抗逆转录病毒治疗(HAART)之前,较高的 BMI 与随着时间的推移 CD4 细胞计数减少较少有关。然而,在 HAART 时代,肥胖患者与正常体重患者相比,CD4 细胞计数的增加幅度较小(+69 与 +116 个细胞,P=0.01)。现在,CD4 细胞计数较低可能是肥胖的另一个不利后果。
