Zusammenfassung:	Diagnosis of HIV-associated lipodystrophy (LD) has been limited by the absence of a validated case definition and the frequent lack of objective body composition measures. An international, objective, case-control study recruited HIV-infected, adult outpatients free of active AIDS, and a case definition model for LD was developed. The relative merits and limitations of this definition as a practical tool for the long-term monitoring of a patient's LD status over the duration of clinical treatment are discussed.
