Abstract We estimated tuberculosis incidence during the first year on antriretroviral therapy without isoniazid-preventive treatment in 6938 West African HIV-infected adults at 3.33 cases per 100 person-years (95% CI, 2.85–3.80). In multivariate Poisson models, sites in Cote d’Ivoire, male gender, low body mass index, low hemoglobin, low CD4 count, and young age were significantly associated with higher incidence.

The Impact

Introduction: The contribution of obesity and metabolic syndrome to the development of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) remains unknown. Leptin is a peptide hormone released by adipose tissue which may mediate impact of the obesity on cardiovascular function. We sought to evaluate their effect on myocardial recovery in PPCM in the multicenter Investigation of Pregnancy Associated Cardiomyopathy (IPAC) study. Methods: 100 women with new onset of PPCM were enrolled and serum obtained for biomarker analysis at entry. Myocardial function was assessed by echocardiography at entry, 2 months, 6 months and 12 months postpartum and LVEF calculated at a core lab. Leptin levels were measured by ELISA and the correlation of leptin with body mass index (BMI) and days post-partum evaluated. LVEF over the first year postpartum was compared by BMI at study entry (BMI >30 versus<=) and then compared by of Leptin levels (median). Results: The cohort was 30% black 65% white 5% other,age 30 + 6, mean BMI was 28.9 + 7.4 and LVEF 0.34 + 0.10 at study entry 31 + 25 days post-partum.Compared to those with a BMI<=30 women with a BMI > 30 had a similar LVEF at entry (LVEF BMI>30 vs < : 0.35 + 0.09 vs 0.34 + 0.10, p=0.60), but a lower LVEF at 2 month (0.39 + 0.12 vs 0.45 + 0.12, p=0.02), 6months (0.38 + 0.12 vs 0.53 + 0.09, p=0.02) and 12 months (0.50 + 0.13 vs 0.55 + 0.08, p=0.03). Leptin levels (mean 23.4 + 21.1 ng/ml, median 15.26 ng/ml) correlated with BMI (r=0.57, p<0.001). Higher leptin levels were associated with more remodeling (LVEDD for high/low leptin= 5.8 + 0.7/5.4 + 0.6, p=0.02) at entry and lower LVEF 2months (high/low= 0.40 + 0.12/ 0.46 + 0.11, p=0.02) which persisted at 12 months (high/low= 0.51 + 0.11/0.56 + 0.08, p=0.03). Leptin levels were significantly lower at entry in subjects who subsequently recovered to an LVEF>=0.50 (19.2 + 19.1 vs 31.8 + 22.9, p=0.006), and were higher in diabetics (p=0.01) and in blacks (p=0.03). Conclusions: In women with PPCM, obesity was associated with a lower LVEF at 6 and 12 months. Leptin levels correlated with BMI and were associated with greater LV remodeling at presentation and lower LVEF at 12 months. The impact of obesity and leptin on the development of cardiomyopathy warrants further investigation.

Background<br />The body mass index (BMI) may contribute somewhat to drug metabolism, thus affecting the efficacy of antiretroviral therapy (ART). CD4+ counts   in people infected with HIV are essential in determining the stage of the disease, initiation of antiretroviral therapy, opportunistic infections and evaluating treatment outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine the association of BMI and clinical stage with CD4+ counts in HIV patients seeking treatment using first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART).<br /><br />Methods<br />An analytic study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted involving 251 HIV/AIDS patients who had received first-line antiretrovirals over six months. BMI, clinical staging according to WHO and CD4 + were collected. Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate the relationship between BMI, clinical stage and CD4+.<br /><br />Results<br />Among the enrolled patients, the median age was 36 years, 135 (55%) of the patients was female, 102 (40.6%) was overweight/obese, 161 (64.1%) was in stage 3 of the disease, and the median CD4+ count was 389 cells/mm3. Multiple linear regression test showed two variables with a significant effect on CD4+ count, namely BMI (B=69.247; 95 % CI : 42.886-95.608) and clinical stage (B=61.590; 28.910-94.270). BMI was the most influencing factor for CD4+ count (β=0.307) compared to clinical stage (β=0.216). <br /><br />Conclusions<br />Body mass index was the most influencing factor for CD4 + counts of HIV/AIDS patients. Regular ART can increase CD4+ counts and maintain the health of HIV/AIDS patients.

Background: Anemia among women causes many serious health problems and is pervasive in developing country. Many research studies have documented that malnutrition affects body growth and development, especially during the crucial period of adolescence. The association between anemia and body mass index (BMI) is a measure of nutrition and health status of adults. Aim was to study the association between anemia and BMI among female students.Methods: An observational study was conducted among first year medical and dental female students (n=109) aged 18-20years. Hemoglobin (Hb) levels (g/dL) by Sahli’s hemoglobinometer and BMI (kg/m2) were estimated. Anemia was defined as Hb content <12g/dL. Subjects were classified by BMI categories as underweight (BMI <18.5kg/m2), normal weight (BMI:18.5-24.99kg/m2), overweight (BMI ≥25kg/m2) and obesity (BMI ≥30kg/m2) according to WHO. Then the relation between anemia and BMI were statistically analyzed.Results: Overall, 48.62% female students were anemic. Of which 43.4% were underweight, 22.6% normal weight and 34.5% were above normal weight (over weight and obese). Mean value of hemoglobin was significantly decreased in underweight and overweight compared to normal weight (p<0.001). Anemia was significantly associated with BMI (χ2 =46.48, p=0.000).Conclusions: The study concludes the occurrence of anemia in both undernourished and over-nourished individuals which were significantly associated. Further studies are needed with larger sample size to document the factors that may be associated with anemia in females.
