Low bone mineral density (BMD) is common among patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and present in higher rates in black subjects. This study assessed vitamin D levels in HIV cases versus noninfected matched controls to determine if deficiency was associated with BMD and HIV clinical outcomes.
In total, 271 military beneficiaries with HIV underwent dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) screening in 2001-2. Serum 25OH-vitamin D levels were determined using stored serum from the time of DEXA and 6-18 months prior. Two non-HIV-infected controls for each active duty case (n = 205) were matched on age, sex, race, zip code, and season using the Department of Defense Serum Repository (DoDSR). Vitamin D levels <20 ng/mL were considered deficient. HIV-related factors and clinical outcomes were assessed using data collected in the DoD HIV Natural History study.
In total, 165 of 205 (80.5%) active duty HIV cases had 2 matched controls available. HIV cases had greater odds of for vitamin D deficiency (VDD) compared with controls (demographics adjusted paired data odds ratio [OR], 1.46, 95% confidence interval [CI], .87-2.45), but this was not statistically significant. Blacks were disproportionately deficient (P <.001) but not relative to HIV status or BMD. Low BMD was associated with typical risk factors (low body mass index and exercise levels, alcohol use); given limited available data the relationship between tenofovir exposure and VDD or low BMD could not be determined. Analysis of HIV-specific factors and outcomes such as exposure to antiretrovirals, HIV progression, hospitalizations, and death revealed no significant associations with vitamin D levels.
VDD was highly prevalent in black HIV- infected persons but did not explain the observed racial disparity in BMD. Vitamin D deficiency was not more common among HIV- infected persons, nor did it seem associated with HIV- related factors/clinical outcomes.
人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染者中普遍存在骨矿物质密度(BMD)低的情况,且黑人患者中发生率更高。本研究评估了 HIV 病例与未感染的匹配对照者的维生素 D 水平,以确定缺乏是否与 BMD 和 HIV 临床结局相关。
2001 年至 2002 年,共有 271 名 HIV 现役军人接受了双能 X 射线吸收法(DEXA)筛查。利用 DEXA 时及之前 6-18 个月储存的血清,检测血清 25OH-维生素 D 水平。采用国防部血清库(DoDSR),按年龄、性别、种族、邮政编码和季节,为每位现役 HIV 病例匹配 2 名非 HIV 感染对照者(n = 205)。维生素 D 水平<20ng/ml 被认为是缺乏。使用从 DoD HIV 自然史研究中收集的数据评估 HIV 相关因素和临床结局。
205 名现役 HIV 病例中,共有 165 名(80.5%)有 2 名匹配对照者。与对照组相比,HIV 病例发生维生素 D 缺乏(VDD)的可能性更高(调整人口统计学因素后的配对数据比值比[OR],1.46,95%置信区间[CI],0.87-2.45),但无统计学意义。黑人的 VDD 比例不成比例(P<.001),但与 HIV 状态或 BMD 无关。低 BMD 与典型的危险因素(低体重指数和运动水平、饮酒)相关;鉴于有限的可用数据,无法确定替诺福韦暴露与 VDD 或低 BMD 之间的关系。对 HIV 特异性因素和结局(如抗逆转录病毒药物暴露、HIV 进展、住院和死亡)的分析显示,维生素 D 水平与这些因素或结局之间无显著相关性。
黑人 HIV 感染者中 VDD 非常普遍,但不能解释 BMD 中观察到的种族差异。HIV 感染者中 VDD 并不更常见,也似乎与 HIV 相关因素/临床结局无关。
