Description
Rafaella Italiano Peixoto and co-authors study fatty liver disease in older people living with HIV, in this 2026 paper. Liver disease is now a leading cause of death not tied to HIV itself in this group. HIV, its drugs, aging, and body fat risks may combine to raise rates of fat buildup in the liver. The team measured how common and how severe that buildup was at one center in northeast Brazil.
Ninety-two older patients were checked with ultrasound scans, and stiffness tests gauged liver scarring. Just over half had fat in the liver, and about half of those cases were moderate to severe. A wider waist stood out as the trait most tied to the condition. Scarring of note appeared in about one in ten of those with fatty liver.
