Abstract
Background and aims

There are no population data on bone mass in individuals with HIV in Spain, adjusted for age and sex.

Materials and methods

Bone mineral density (BMD) data were obtained by dual X-ray absorptiometry in a cohort of individuals with HIV infection compared with cohort data from the general population in Spain and the United States of America.

Results

Of 928 individuals (mean 46 years, 25% women), the prevalence of osteoporosis in the lumbar spine/femoral neck was 18%/5% in men, and 17%/10% in women, respectively. The rate increased from the age of 40 in men and from 50 in women (osteoporosis in 20% and 27%, respectively). BMD was lower than that observed in the general population in almost all age groups (mean, -6%; between 0%–11% lower compared to the Spanish cohort, and -8%; between 0%–14% lower than the American cohort).

Conclusions

Our cohort of individuals with HIV had a lower BMD in all age groups after adjustment for age and sex, compared with the general population. This fact must be considered when making recommendations.

Resumen
Antecedentes y objetivo

No existen datos poblacionales de masa ósea en pacientes con VIH en España, ajustados por edad y sexo.

Materiales y métodos

Se recogieron los datos de densidad mineral ósea (DMO) mediante absorciometría dual de rayos X en una cohorte de pacientes con infección por VIH, comparándose con los valores observados en cohortes de población general españolas y estadounidenses.

Resultados

En 928 pacientes (media 46 años, 25% mujeres), la prevalencia de osteoporosis en columna lumbar/cuello femoral fue del 18/5% en varones, y 17/10% en mujeres, respectivamente, aumentando desde los 40 años en varones y desde los 50 años en mujeres (osteoporosis en 20 y 27%, respectivamente). La DMO fue inferior a la observada en la población general en casi todos los grupos etarios (media, -6%; entre 0–11% inferior respecto a la cohorte española, y -8%; entre 0–14% inferior a la estadounidense).

Conclusiones

Nuestra cohorte de pacientes con VIH tiene una menor DMO en todos los grupos etarios ajustados por edad y sexo, en comparación con la población general. Este hecho debe ser considerado en las recomendaciones de manejo.
