Patterns of Vitamin D, Parathyroid Hormone and c-Terminal Telopeptide of Collagen Type 1 in Caucasian and African Descent HIV-Infected Populations in Central Europe

Abstract: Risk factors for bone loss in HIV patients might differ or have a different impact in African descent compared to Caucasian populations. The aim of the paper is to analyze the relevance of risk factors on surrogate markers of bone metabolism in HIV-infected African descent and Caucasian patients. This is a cross-sectional study in a single HIV-specialized research and clinical care center in Munich, Germany. We included 889 patients in the study, among them 771 Caucasians (86.7%).
