Abstract

Objectives: Low 25(OH)D has been associated with dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and inflammation in both general and HIV-infected (mostly treated) populations. We investigated these associations in antiretroviral-naïve HIV-infected persons.

Design: We measured plasma 25(OH)D, metabolic, immunologic and inflammatory markers in 355 persons (204 Whites, 151 Blacks) at enrollment in the ANRS COPANA cohort.

Methods: 25(OH)D levels were categorized <10 ng/mL (severe deficiency) and <20 ng/mL (deficiency). Statistical analyses were adjusted for sampling season, ethnicity and the interaction between season and ethnicity.

Results: 25(OH)D insufficiency (<30 ng/mL), deficiency (<20 ng/mL) and severe deficiency (<10 ng/mL) were highly prevalent (93%, 67% and 24% of patients, respectively). Blacks had significantly lower 25(OH)D than Whites (median: 13 vs. 17 ng/mL, P<0.001), with markedly less pronounced seasonal variation. Smoking and drinking alcohol were associated with having a 25 OHD level<10 ng/mL. In patients with 25(OH)D<10 ng/mL, the proportion of persons with a CD4 count<100/mm(3) was higher than in patients with 25(OH)D≥10 ng/mL (18.8% vs. 10.7%, P = 0.04). Persons with 25 OHD<10 ng/mL had higher levels of hsCRP (1.60 mg/L [IQR: 0.59-5.76] vs. 1.27 mg/L [0.58-3,39], P = 0.03) and resistin (16.81 ng/L [IQR: 13.82-25.74] vs. 11.56 ng/L [IQR: 8.87-20.46], P = 0.02), and, among Blacks only, sTNFR2 (2.92 ng/mL [2.31-4.13] vs. 2.67 ng/mL, [1.90-3.23], P = 0.04). The strength and significance of the association between CD4<100/mm(3) and 25 OHD<10 ng/mL were reduced after adjustment on sTNFR1, sTNFR2, and hsCRP levels. In multivariate analysis, a CD4 count <100/mm(3), resistin concentration and smoking were independently associated with 25(OH)D<10 ng/mL.

Conclusions: Severe vitamin D deficiency was associated with low CD4 counts and increased markers of inflammation in ARV-naïve HIV-infected persons.

Conflict of interest statement

Competing Interests: Jean-Paul Viard has received travel grants, consultancy fees, honoraria or study grants from Abbott, Boehringer-Ingelheim, Bristol-Myers-Squibb, Gilead Sciences, Glaxo-Smith-Kline, Janssen-Cilag, Merck-Sharp & Dohme-Chibret.
