Abstract

Background: Many youth saw a rise in body mass index and obesity during the COVID-19 pandemic associated with virtual schooling and a lack of physical exercise options due to lockdown orders. However, the impact of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic on body mass index in HIV-infected youth on anti-viral therapy has not been studied.

Objective: This study examined COVID-19's impact on body mass index in 157 behaviorally acquired and 39 perinatally acquired youth living with HIV.

Methods: Retrospective chart analysis was conducted for body mass index records across pre-COVID, COVID, and post-COVID periods.

Results: Age and acquired type showed significant associations with increased body mass index. Limitations included missing data and physiological body mass index changes.

Conclusion: The perinatally acquired group's body mass index increased by 1.6 during and 2.3 post-pandemic compared to pre-pandemic levels. Longitudinal follow-up of body mass index changes is needed in this vulnerable population.

COVID-19 大流行对感染艾滋病毒青少年体重指数的影响。

背景：在 COVID-19 大流行期间，许多青少年的体重指数和肥胖率都有所上升，这与虚拟学校教育和封锁令导致缺乏体育锻炼选择有关。然而，COVID-19 在全球范围内的流行对接受抗病毒治疗的 HIV 感染青少年的体重指数的影响尚未得到研究：本研究调查了 COVID-19 对 157 名行为获得型和 39 名围产期获得型 HIV 感染者的体重指数的影响：方法：对 COVID 前、COVID 后和 COVID 后的体重指数记录进行回顾性图表分析：结果：年龄和感染类型与体重指数的增加有明显关联。局限性包括数据缺失和生理体重指数变化：结论：与大流行前的水平相比，围产期获得性群体的体重指数在大流行期间和大流行后分别增加了 1.6 和 2.3。需要对这一弱势群体的体重指数变化进行纵向跟踪。
