Persons with HIV demonstrate increased risk for aging-associated complications and have reduced telomere length (TL) compared with age-matched persons without HIV. Our data show that greater visceral fat is related to reduced TL in HIV, independent of age and smoking. Fat redistribution may be a relevant mediator of TL attrition in HIV.
与未感染艾滋病毒的年龄匹配者相比,感染艾滋病毒的人出现与衰老相关并发症的风险增加,端粒长度(TL)缩短。我们的数据表明,在感染艾滋病毒的人群中,更多的内脏脂肪与端粒长度缩短有关,这与年龄和吸烟无关。脂肪重新分布可能是艾滋病毒中端粒损耗的一个相关介导因素。
