  Background: Published studies reported a high prevalence of osteoporosis among HIV-1-infected subjects, but none of them were conducted in Sub-Saharan Africa. The objective was to estimate prevalence of osteoporosis based on dual energy X-absorptiometry bone mineral density in Senegalese patients above 50 years of age and to identify associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 193 HIV patients above 50 years of age in Dakar, Senegal. Bone mineral density was measured by dual energy X-absorptiometry at lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip. Osteoporosis was defined as T-score ≤ -2.5 at any site. Results: Median age was 55 years. 99% of women were post-menopausal. Prevalence of osteoporosis at any site was 26% and 6% in women and men, respectively. One and eight subjects had osteoporosis at femoral neck and total hi.. Read More»
