Observational Study
Prevalence and risk factors for low bone mineral density in antiretroviral therapy-naive HIV-infected young men.
We aimed to investigate the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) and associated factors in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive HIV-infected young men. ⋯ We observed a high prevalence of low BMD in our ART-naive cohort of young men. Risk factors associated with low Z-scores were those usually observed in HIV-infected individuals (low BMI, current smoking and CD4+ cell count) or linked to endocrine hormone levels (estradiol, IGF-1).
