Cumulative incidence and treatment effectiveness of low bone mineral density among people living with HIV in Iran (2021–2023)
The study highlights the high cumulative incidence of 16.3% and treatment effectiveness of 12.5% of low BMD among PLHIV in Kerman, Iran, with implications for fracture risk. Despite a steady state in spine BMD decline, the risk of fracture remains elevated due to continued femoral neck and total hip BMD reduction. Gender-specific factors and BMI may influence susceptibility to low BMD.
