With 31 HIV-infected patients was assessed based on anthropometry: weight, height, body mass index (BMI), triceps skinfolds (TSF) and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC). Body composition obtained by electrical bioimpedance and expressed as fat mass (FM) and lean body mass (LBM); dietary intake through recall 24-hour, physical activity (PA) through BQHPA and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) through Kidscreen 27. Statistical analysis IBM® SPSS® v.25. Results: Z-scores of BMI: 25% overweight and 7,1% obese. Dietary intake of critical vitamins, nutrients, minerals, sugar and energy do not correspond to DRI’s.
