| Popis: | Research into how people living with HIV experience body changes, such as lipodystrophy, is limited. On the other hand, physical activity has been recommended to improve the quality of life of these patients . Objectives : The study compared the body image-BI in lipodystrophyc and non-lipodystrophyc HIV-infected patients, sedentary and physically active. Methods: A total of 32 HIV-infected patients (age=45±2 yrs, body mass index-BMI=22.8±1.0 kg.m - 2 ; CD4+T=506.1±46.0 cell.mm - ³; CD4+T%=20.5±2.0%) were assigned into four groups: Lip-Sed (sedentary lipodystrophyc; n=9); Lip-Act (physically active lipodystrophyc; n=7); NLip-Sed (sedentary non-lipodystrophyc; n=9); NLip-Act (physically active non-lipodystrophyc; n=7). Objective BI was assessed by means of the comparison between the actual BMI and self-reported actual silhouette-AS and ideal silhouette-IS. AS and IS were obtained using the Silhouette Matching Task-SMT with 12 figures representing BMI from 17.5 to 37.5 kg.m -2 . Subjective BI was assessed through the Body Image Questionnaire-BIQ which reflects the affective body perception. Results: The Lip-Sed showed lower IS compared to BMI and AS (P>0.05), which on their turn were higher than in Lip-Act, NLip-Sed, and NLip-Act (P>0.05). On the other hand, BMI in NLip-Act was close to IS (P>0.05), but higher than AS (P |
