Weight loss pre-ART • Death associated with weight less than 66% of ideal body weight • Death associated with lean body mass falling below 54% • Independent risk factor for death in HIV • Weight loss also associated with increased risk for hospitalization, decreased quality of life • Increased progression of HIV • As little as 5% weight loss was associated with mortality and increased risk of opportunistic infection ..

Does 6 months of ART Improve Nutritional Status in HIV in India? • 190 HIV-infected patients initiating HAART in Chennai, South India at YRG CARE • Mean age 35 years (range 20-62 years) • 85% male • Overall body weight increased mean 2.8 kg (range –12.5-22.5 kg) • 41 (22%) lost weight (>1 kg) • 37 (19%) were weight stable (change < 1 kg) • 112 (59%) gained weight (> 1 kg) Saghayam, unpublished

Summary • Weight loss in HIV is associated with morbidity and mortality • Whether or not on ART • Weight loss is likely multifactorial • Response needs to consider etiology • Treatment of HIV • Treatment of OIs (TB) • Control of symptoms
