Insulin resistance and glucose and lipid concentrations in a cohort of perinatally HIV-infected Latin American children

Rohan Hazra et al. Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2013 Jul.

Abstract

We measured glucose, insulin and lipids in 249 perinatally HIV-infected Latin American children. Only 1 subject had impaired fasting glucose; 6.8% had insulin resistance. Abnormalities in total, low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides were reported for 13%, 13%, 21% and 34%, respectively. Continued follow-up of this population is necessary to characterize the evolution and clinical consequences of these findings.
