Abstract
HIV guidelines recommend bone mineral density (BMD) screening by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for all postmenopausal women and all men ≥50 years, but uptake of these recommendations has been low. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of people with HIV (PWH) aged ≥65 or older engaged in routine care to determine DXA completion. We reviewed records of 300 patients (243 men; 57 women). 48% had a DXA scan ordered, and 85% of those with a DXA order had results available within the electronic record. Of those screened, 13% of women and 27% of men had normal BMD; 45% of women and 53% of men had osteopenia; and 42% of women and 20% of men had osteoporosis. Older PWH at the highest fracture risk were under-screened for low BMD, per current HIV guidelines. Improved fracture risk screening is needed for this high-risk patient population.
期刊介绍：
AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses was the very first AIDS publication in the field over 30 years ago, and today it is still the critical resource advancing research in retroviruses, including AIDS. The Journal provides the broadest coverage from molecular biology to clinical studies and outcomes research, focusing on developments in prevention science, novel therapeutics, and immune-restorative approaches. Cutting-edge papers on the latest progress and research advances through clinical trials and examination of targeted antiretroviral agents lead to improvements in translational medicine for optimal treatment outcomes.
AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses coverage includes:
HIV cure research
HIV prevention science
- Vaccine research
- Systemic and Topical PreP
Molecular and cell biology of HIV and SIV
Developments in HIV pathogenesis and comorbidities
Molecular biology, immunology, and epidemiology of HTLV
Pharmacology of HIV therapy
Social and behavioral science
Rapid publication of emerging sequence information.
