Comparison of bioelectrical impedance with skinfold thickness and X-ray absorptiometry to measure body composition in HIV-infected with lipodistrophy Comparación de impendancia bioeléctrica con grosor de pliegues cutáneos y absorciometría de rayos X para mensurar la composición corporal de personas con VIH con lipodistrofia

Introduction: Human immunodeficiency vírus (HIV)-associated lipodystrophy syndrome (LS) includes body composition and metabolic alterations. Lack of validated criteria and tools make difficult to evaluate body composition in this group. Objective: The aim of the study was to compare different method...
