Calcium Intake and Bone Mineral Density in People With HIV and/or Chronic Hepatitis C

Share

1

Reduced bone mineral density (BMD) is prevalent in individuals with HIV, HCV, or both, with significant rates of osteoporosis observed.
2

The study found no overall association between infection group and BMD results among participants.
3

HCV-infected patients with osteoporosis had significantly lower dietary calcium intake compared to those with normal BMD.
4

Calcium intake was correlated with reduced BMD specifically in patients with HCV monoinfection.
5

The study highlights the importance of dietary calcium in maintaining bone health among individuals with chronic viral infections.
