Subjective and objective nutritional assessment methods: what do they really assess?

abstract：PURPOSE OF REVIEW:Metabolic toxicities in HIV patients are common and contribute to clinical status and long-term sequelae. Body fat mass alterations, of multifactorial causes, continue to occur, despite use of antiretroviral drugs associated with fewer metabolic side-effects. The role of HIV itself in the development ...
