Abstract

Aim: Weight gain with the use of dolutegravir, bictegravir, and tenofovir alafenamide for antiretroviral therapy has been reported. However, studies on changes in body composition and the leptin/adiponectin ratio after antiretroviral therapy initiation are limited. These factors are important because they can be used as indicators of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease risk.

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the changes in waist circumference, body composition, and adipokine levels after the initiation of antiretroviral therapy consisting of dolutegravir, bictegravir, and tenofovir alafenamide and evaluate the relationships between these parameters in Japanese patients living with human immunodeficiency virus.

Methods: This is a single-center, prospective, observational study. Waist circumference, body composition, and adipokine levels were measured at baseline and 12 months after antiretroviral therapy initiation in antiretroviral therapy-naive Japanese patients living with human immunodeficiency virus. Body composition was determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis.

Results: We included 11 patients (10 bictegravir/TAF/emtricitabine, 1 dolutegravir/lamivudine) in this study. The results showed no significant changes in waist circumference and body composition among the patients. The leptin/adiponectin ratio and serum leptin levels significantly increased after antiretroviral therapy initiation. Changes in waist circumference, fat mass, and visceral fat area showed a strong positive correlation.

Conclusion: The leptin/adiponectin ratio increased following antiretroviral therapy initiation. The waist circumference measurement can be a simple, inexpensive, and useful method to identify changes in fat mass and visceral fat area after initiation of antiretroviral therapy.

Keywords: Antiretroviral therapy, waist circumference, body composition, human immunodeficiency virus, leptin, adiponectin.
