Background: Several studies have reported increased resting energy expenditure (REE) in
people living with HIV/AIDS possibly due to changes in body composition that occurs in HIV
lipodystrophy syndrome.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the use of lipid-lowering drugs in
resting energy expenditure (REE) and total energy expenditure (TEE) in patients seropositive
for HIV in treatment of lipodystrophy.
