HIV-Positive Patients With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Have a Lower Body Mass Index and Are More Physically Active Than HIV-Negative Patients

Abstract

Although NAFLD was similar between the 2 groups, HIV-positive patients had a lower BMI and were more physically active compared with HIV-negative patients. This may suggest that in HIV, NAFLD is associated with factors other than those related to body fatness, such as HIV infection and treatment.
