Children exposed or unexposed to human immunodeficiency virus: weight, height, and body mass index during the first 5 years of life—A Danish Nationwide Cohort
Clinical Infectious Diseases May 10, 2020
Moseholm E, Helleberg M, Sandholdt H, et al. - Among children born in Denmark and aged 0–5 years, researchers conducted this nationwide register-based study to compare anthropometric outcomes in HIV-exposed but uninfected (HEU) children with those in children not exposed to HIV. For this investigation, they involved all singleton HEU children born in Denmark in 2000–2016. HEU children were individually matched by child sex, parity, and maternal place of birth to 5 singleton controls born to non-HIV mothers. A total of 485 HEU children and 2495 HIV-unexposed controls have been involved. HEU children were smaller at birth relative to a matched control group but this disparity decreased over time and is not known to have a detrimental impact on the health and well-being of HEU children during early childhood.
