Introduction: In patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, the prevalence of osteoporosis is higher in comparison with the general population. Anti-retroviral therapy (ART) use seems to be a possible risk factor there is also high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among people living with HIV.
Objectives: To describe bone mineral density (BMD) status in HIV-infected patients as well as its associated risk factors such as vit D levels.
Materials and methods: Retrospective observational study with a sample of 107 HIV-infected patients who underwent BMD evaluation.
Results: Baseline population results are summarized on the following table:
Características Basales | n (%), media (DS) |
Males | 79 (73.83%) |
Age | 55 ± 7.3 a–os (a) |
Weight | 70.74 ± 14.03 kg |

○ Treatment years | 1.83 ± 2.12 a |
• Protease inhibitors (PI) | 31 (28.97%) |
○ Treatment years | 7.41 ± 5.3 a |
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) | 47.5 ± 26.5 ng/dl |

Osteopenia: | |
○ Femoral neck: | 74 (69.1%) |
○ Lumbar spine: | 45 (42%) |
Osteoporosis: | |
○ Femoral neck: | 10 (9.3%) |
○ Lumbar spine: | 20(18.6%) |
Osteoporosis treatment | 6 (5%) solo bifosfonatos |
Vit D treatment | 68 (63%) |
Calcium supplements | 2 (1.8%) |
Evaluation by osteoporosis unit | 21 (19.62%) |
A statistically significant association was found between combined treatment with TED+PI and lower femoral neck and hip BMD and femoral neck osteopenia. Longer duration of treatment was associated with femoral neck osteopenia and lower BMD at the femoral neck and lumbar spine. 25-OH-VitD deficiency was associated with overall lower BMD at the femoral neck and hip.
Conclusions: HIV-infected patients show a high prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis. Combined use of TED+PI, longer duration of ART treatment and long-standing HIV infection could be possible risk factors for this finding. There is a high prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency despite a high prescription of supplementation.
