Abstract

Vitamin D dysregulation can occur in people living with HIV, disrupting calcium homeostasis and bone turnover. We aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms by which vitamin D regulates bone turnover in adolescents living with perinatally-acquired HIV (ALWH) in southern Africa. A pre-planned secondary analysis was performed of baseline data from the VITALITY trial [PACTR20200989766029] which enrolled ALWH (11-19 years) taking antiretroviral therapy for ≥6 months, and recorded socio-demographic, clinical and dietary data. After over-night fasting, vitamin D metabolites [25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)2D, 24,25(OH)2D], intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bone turnover markers (BTMs) [CTX and P1NP] were measured. Tandem Mass Spectrometry measured vitamin D metabolites, whilst intact PTH and BTMs were analysed by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Stratified by 25(OH)D [
