HIV and Nutrition,Nigel RollinsDepartment of Paediatrics and Child Health,New variant famine:AIDS and food crisis in southern Africa.Alex de Waal and Alan Whiteside.Lancet 2003;362:1234-37,Secondary effects of the AIDS epidemic on food security,famine and nutrition could be as great as the primary effectsPresent southern Africa drought and food crisis compounds AIDS epidemicHistorical coping strategies are in danger of collapsing.Present food crisis more intractableHigh degree of vulnerability in areas not affected by droughtHousehold impoverishment has occurred more rapidlyDespite early rains in early 2003,high levels of vulnerability persist,Hypothesis:HIV accounts for why many households are facing food shortage and explains grim trajectory of limited recoveryAlready known:Household affected by AIDS morbidity and mortality lose income,assets,and skills;chronically sick member results in 30-35%on average reduction in annual incomeFour proposed new factors,Household-level labour shortages are attributable to adult morbidity and mortality as is the rise in number of dependants,Contest:Projections do not suggest demographic effect of HIV/AIDS on changes in dependencyBut these do not consider:Cluster effects at the level of the household Age and sex distribution of population affected by HIVNon-productivity of sick adults,Loss of assets and skills,Skills are lost not just in the labour market but also in the home.Food security,preparation and coping strategies,The burden of care,Sick adults and of orphansMajor expenditure Diversion of resources and labour,Malnutrition and HIV,“Undernourished individuals are more susceptible to being infected with HIV and for transmission”?“Malnutrition thus threatens to accelerate progression from HIV to AIDS for millions of individuals”?“This fact implies that plans for introduction of ARV Rx.on a large scale should be combined with nutritional support programmes.”,Other influences,Various

decrease in caloric intake greater.More negative energy balance in weight loss group.Macallan;NEJM 1995;333:83-8.,Current consensus,Resting energy expenditure in adults is raised by 10%from the time of infectionNot similarly demonstrated in childrenTotal energy expenditure may be decreased because of inactivity(Activity-related energy expenditure-AEE)Growth failure is not solely related to energy requirementReduced intake,especially during concurrent infections is probably the main factor that results in wasting,WHO recommendations,Adults:energy needs are increased by 10 percent over accepted requirements for otherwise healthy peoplesymptomatic HIV infected adults those who have transitioned to AIDS,an increase in energy intake of about 20 to 30 percent to maintain body weight is recommended during periods of symptomatic disease or opportunistic infection Hard to achieve during acute illness-requirements should therefore be maximized during the recovery phase,WHO recommendations,Children:Energy intake should be increased by 10 percent even though data not available to supportSymptomatic HIV infected children with chronic illnesses e.g.LIP or TB should increase energy intake by about 20 to 30 percentEnergy intakes for HIV-infected children experiencing weight loss need to be increased by 50 to 100 percent over established requirements for otherwise healthy uninfected children,These recommendations should be achieved as much as possible through dietary approaches rather than specific nutritional productsInadequate data on protein turnover to substantiate claims of need to increase intake by 25-100%.Protein should provide 12-15%of total calorie intake,Tube feeding and growth,Tube fed for dysfunctional swallowing,aspiration or GOR(n=18)Median duration 8.5 monthsResulted in significantly increased W/A,W/H and arm fat areaDid not alter H/A or arm muscle area,Tube feeding was not sufficient to correct linear growth,Henderson 1994,NG and Gastrostomy feeding,Anthropometric data,caloric intake and CD4 counts(n=23),before and 6 months after NG changed to gastrostomy feedingCaloric intake improved with bothGastrostomy improved W/A and W/H but not height,skinfolds,AMC,hospital days or CD4Higher adjusted CD4 counts and lower W/H predicted response2.8 fold risk reduction of dying for every positive unit change in weight z score(p=0.005),Gastrostomy supplementation can improve weight and fat when other methods fail,Miller 1995,N-3 fatty acid enriched feeds,Enterotropic peptide-based,n-3 fatty acid-enriched

vitamin A supplements of 63%in HIV-infected children(RR=0.37 0.14,0.95)Multivitamin supplementation(B,C,E)of BF mothers reduced child mortality among immunologically and nutritionally compromised women in one trial One of four studies reporting on morbidity(including diarrhoea,RTIs and HIV-related symptoms),found a 49%reduction of all diarrhoea in HIV-infected children due to vitamin A Changes in HIV-1 viral load or CD4 counts and other lymphocyte subsets were reported in 8 and 10 studies respectively.No change in VL reported and variable responses in T-cell subsets,The effect of micronutrients on all-cause mortality and on morbidity in HIV-infected adults and children appears to be independent of their effect on HIV viral load or immune markers,Observational studies on micronutrients and HIV,Low blood levels and decreased dietary intakes of some micronutrients are associated with faster HIV disease progression and mortality,and with increased risks of HIV transmission(?causal:vitamin A and MTCT/Zn and mortality)Micronutrient supplements,such as vitamins B-complex,C,and E,can improve immune status,prevent childhood diarrhea,and improve pregnancy outcomes,including maternal prenatal weight gain,fetal loss,prematurity,and low birth weight,WHO recommendations,HIV-infected adults and children are encouraged to consume diets,which ensure micronutrient intakes at RDA levelsSeveral studies raise concerns that some micronutrient supplements,such as vitamin A,zinc,and iron,may produce adverse outcomes in HIV-infected populationsSafe upper limits for daily micronutrient intakes for PLWHA need to be established Adequate micronutrient intake is best achieved through an adequate diet,Research priorities,Impact of HIV Infection on Nutrition Effect of HIV infection on macronutrient needs,particularly protein and fat requirements?Do energy requirements for PLWHA vary in different stages of disease,and for those with opportunistic infections?Are there higher energy requirements for HIV infected children and pregnant and lactating women?What is the effect of HIV infection on micronutrient requirements among children and adults?Does maternal HIV infection affect fetal endowment of nutrients and breast milk composition?,Role of Nutrition in HIV Infection Optimal levels of energy and protein intake during metabolic stress?Optimal nutrient guidelines for patients with chronic diarrhea or GI infection?What is the effect of nutritional intervention on prevention of opportunistic infections and slowing of disease progression in HIV infection?,Operational Research Questions What should programs that provide food and nutrition support do differently because of HIV/AIDS?What are effective packages of nutritional interventions for food security and livelihood programs to mitigate the nutritional impacts of HIV caused by reduced agricultural productivity and/or earning capacity?,
