High baseline body mass index predicts recovery of CD4+ T lymphocytes for HIV/AIDS patients receiving long-term antiviral therapy
The relationship between baseline BMI and CD4+ T cells during follow-up in HIV patients in China requires further evaluation. We conducted a retrospective cohort study based on adult AIDS patients who underwent or received antiretroviral therapy from 2003 to 2019 in Guangxi, China. BMI was divided i...

Zusammenfassung: | The relationship between baseline BMI and CD4+ T cells during follow-up in HIV patients in China requires further evaluation. We conducted a retrospective cohort study based on adult AIDS patients who underwent or received antiretroviral therapy from 2003 to 2019 in Guangxi, China. BMI was divided into categories and compared, and after adjusting for BMI being related to the change in CD4 lymphocyte count, with normal weight as the reference group, the BMI before treatment was positively correlated with the changes in CD4+ T cells at different time periods. Among them, obese patients had significant CD4+ cell gain. In patients with pretreatment CD4+ T lymphocyte counts |
