Gut Integrity and Metabolic Complications in Youth Living with HIV in Uganda.
REFNo: HS1036ES
The overall objective is to use surrogate markers to investigate the interplay between intestinal integrity, microbial translocation, immune activation, systemic inflammation and metabolic comorbidities in YLPHIV residing in urban and rural settings in Uganda.
Specific Aim 1: Assess differences in gut integrity, microbial and fungal translocation markers, as well as inflammation in YLPHIV compared to HIV-uninfected controls in Kampala (urban), and Gulu (rural), Uganda.
Specific Aim 2: Assess whether markers of gut integrity, translocation and inflammation are associated with adiposity, measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and levels of the homeostatic assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA) in YLPHIV and HIV-uninfected participants in Kampala and Gulu.
Specific Aim 3: Assess the relationship between gut and inflammatory biomarkers and diet, physical activity, socioeconomic status and air pollution.
