Can anthropometry measure the body fat of people living with HIV/AIDS?: A systematic review
Introduction: Assessment of the quantity and distribution of body fat in people living with HIV/AIDS is of great importance in clinical practice, due to the association of body fat changes with clinical conditions. The aim of this systematic review was to answer the central question: Can anthropomet...
