New data from the massive Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study suggest that there is no phenomena of waist fat gain unique to HIV-infected men on HAART. Researchers used circumference measurements to track men's hip
and waist size over a four-year period. Their findings show that HIV-infected men on HAART were no more likely to gain waist fat than HIV-uninfected men. However, the researchers did find that HIV-infected men on
treatment seemed to gain hip fat more slowly than HIV-uninfected men, with the resulting change in waist/hip ratio making it appear as though their waists had increased in circumference. These findings may help clarify diagnostic
criteria for lipohypertrophy.
