Diet in a global cohort of adults with HIV at low-to-moderate traditional cardiovascular disease risk.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To characterize diet quality across a global cohort of people with HIV (PWH).

Design

Cross-sectional analysis.

Methods

Leveraging REPRIEVE data from baseline across five Global Burden of Disease (GBD) regions, we analyzed participant responses to the Rapid Eating Assessment for Participants questionnaire. An overall diet quality score and scores for specific diet components were generated. Higher scores indicate better diet quality.

Results

Among 7736 participants (median age 50 years, 30% women, median BMI 25.8 kg/m 2 ) overall diet quality score (max score 30) was optimal in 13% of participants and good, suboptimal or poor in 45%, 38%, and 4% of participants, respectively; saturated fat score (max score 18) was good, suboptimal, or poor in 38%, 40%,
