Objective: To investigate the associations between nutritional status and lipid profile with biomarkers of hemolysis and inflammation in sickle cell anemia, in addition to considering gender differences. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed nutritional, and biochemical data of pediatric patients carrying sickle cell anemia. Results: Vitamin A, apolipoprotein B, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were lower in boys. Hemoglobin was significantly lower, and the white blood cells and lactate dehydrogenase were higher in boys. Body mass index, vitamin A, and triglycerides were associated with hemoglobin levels, while apolipoprotein A-I was associated with white blood cells and total bilirubin. Additionally, body mass index and vitamin A were associated with lactate dehydrogenase. Vitamin A showed significant predictive power in hemoglobin alteration and lactate dehydrogenase, while apolipoprotein A-I was able to predict high white blood cells values and total bilirubin. Conclusion: This study found in a pediatric population with sickle cell anemia that body mass index, vitamin A, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein A-I were associated with biomarkers of hemolysis and inflammation. Boys exhibited the greater nutritional deficit and severity of the disease.

Abstract We estimated tuberculosis incidence during the first year on antriretroviral therapy without isoniazid-preventive treatment in 6938 West African HIV-infected adults at 3.33 cases per 100 person-years (95% CI, 2.85–3.80). In multivariate Poisson models, sites in Cote d’Ivoire, male gender, low body mass index, low hemoglobin, low CD4 count, and young age were significantly associated with higher incidence.

Pressure sores are common among bedridden, elderly, or malnourished patients, and may occur in terminal ill patients because of impaired mobility, fecal or urinary incontinence, and decreased healing capacity. The aim of this study was to compare frequency of pressure sores between malnourished and non-malnourished necropsied adults. METHOD: All (n = 201) adults (age <FONT FACE="Symbol">³</font> 18 years) autopsied between 1986 and 1996 at the Teaching Hospital of Triangulo Mineiro Medical School (Uberaba) were eligible for the study. Gender, race, weight, height and main diagnoses were recorded. Ninety-six cases were excluded because of probable body water retention (congestive heart failure, hepatic insufficiency, nephrotic syndrome) or pressure sores secondary to peripheral vascular ischemia. Body mass index (BMI) was used to define malnourished (BMI < 18.5 kg/m²) and non-malnourished (BMI > 18.5kg/m²) groups. RESULTS: Except for weight (42.5kg; range: 28-57 vs. 60; 36-134.5kg) and BMI (16.9; range: 12.4-18.5 vs. 22.7; range: 18.5-54.6kg/m²), respectively, there were no statistical differences among 43 malnourished and 62 non-malnourished cases in relation to age (54.9 ± 20.4 vs. 52.9 ± 17.9 years), percentage of white persons (74.4 vs. 64.5%), male gender (76.7 vs. 69.3%) and main diagnoses. Five malnourished (11.6%) and 7 (11.5%) non-malnourished cases had pressure sores (p=0.89). CONCLUSION: Pressure sores were equally common findings in necropsied persons with protein-energy malnutrition, as assessed by body mass index.
