Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess undernutrition and factors associated with, among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and on antiretroviral therapy (ART).
Facility-based cross-sectional study design was implemented. Data were collected using pretested structured questionnaire at ART service site. Basic descriptive statistics were computed. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association between outcome variable and explanatory variables.
The prevalence of undernutrition (body mass index [BMI] ≤18.5 kg/m2) among patients on ART was 30%. The mean BMI was 20.3 with standard deviation ± 2.9 kg/m2. Undernutrition was significantly associated with CD4 (200-500) (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.576, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.338, 0.979) and CD4 >500 (AOR = 0.431, 95% CI: 0.239-0.778), duration on ART >12 months (AOR = 0.466, 95% CI: 0.224, 0.966), unable to get nutritional care and support (AOR = 2.188, 95% CI: 1.349, 3.549), diarrhea (AOR = 1.641, 95% CI: 1.036, 2.6), khat chewing (AOR = 0.589, 95% CI: 0.377, 0.92), and severe food insecurity (AOR = 1.594, 95% CI: 1.008, 2.521).
Our study provides a unique insight into prevalence and associated factors of undernutrition which greatly affect ART outcomes. The study revealed that the undernutrition was found to be high and its problem in HIV-positive patients are interworsen. Diarrhea, severe food insecurity, nutritional care and support, khat chewing, CD4 >200/µl, and duration on ART >12 months were independently associated with undernutrition. Comprehensive nutritional assessment during follow-up and routine nutritional supplement therapy for undernutrition in conjunction with early start on ART need to be initiated.

The height of the patient was measured on standing in Frankfurt position, and the weight was measured on standing scale. BMI was calculated as weight in kilogram divided by height in meter square (kg/m<sup>2</sup>). The wealth index questions were adopted from EDHS survey to collect common household assets, and wealth index was estimated by factor analyses. The food insecurity status was assessed by HFIAS of different nine standard questions adopted from the Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance.<xref rid="ref2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref> Level of food insecurity category was declared by the response of the participant to the questions. Undernutrition was measured by BMI and defined as BMI <18.5 kg/m<sup>2</sup>. ARTadherence level was measured by patient self-report. It was defined as good if ≥95% (the patients missed ≤2 dose of 30 doses), fair if the average adherence ≥85-94% (the patient missed 3-5 dose of 30 doses), and poor if the average adherence is ≤84% (the patient missed ≥6 doses from 30 doses).

Since the initiation of ART could not resolve undernutrition, nutritional status depends on the duration of ART. This study was designed to assess the undernutrition among HIV-positive adults on ART and associated factors in four selected East Hararge zone hospitals.</p><p>The number of female population in this study exceeds that of male which shows high HIV infection among female (58.6%). There was high prevalence of HIV infection among female as mentioned in EDHS 2011 report. According to this study, undernutrition mostly affected females (33.2%) and it was a bit higher than the prevalence of malnutrition among HIV-infected women in Ethiopia (13.2%), as indicated by meta-analysis in 11 Sub-Saharan African countries.<xref rid="ref15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref> It is also similar with different pocket studies in Ethiopia.<xref rid="ref16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>-<xref rid="ref18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref></p><p>Large number of subjects following ART in this study were in age group of 25-34 years (45.8%) because of high prevalence of HIV infection in this group has also seen in AID in the Ethiopia sixth report 2013 and EDHS 2011 report. Age-specific undernutrition was also highly prevalent in this age group next to 18-24 years.</p><p>Healthy nutrition plays a central role in the management of HIV/AIDS, especially those symptoms such as diarrhea, anorexia, sore mouth, fever, and muscle wasting - directly associated with the disease. Adequate dietary intake enhances the therapeutic effect of medicines, boosts the immune system (thus helping to fight against the disease and to maintain body weight), prolongs the progression of HIV infection to AIDS, increases longevity, and promotes healthy living. The overall prevalence of undernutrition (BMI <18.5 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) was 30% which is relatively lower than the cross-sectional study conducted in china on adult LWHIV (37.2%) and Bahirdar northwest Ethiopia on current on ART (63.5%).<xref rid="ref19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>,<xref rid="ref20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref> The prevalence of undernutrition was reported different in different parts of Ethiopia. In Jima University referral hospital, the prevalence of malnutrition among adults on ART was 46.8%<xref rid="ref17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref> which was high as compared to this finding and 12.3% in Dilla University referral hospital south part of Ethiopia which was lower as compared to this study. On the other hand, the prevalence of malnutrition among adults living with HIV in Kenya was 9.8% and Gonder northwest of Ethiopia was 27.8%.<xref rid="ref21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>,<xref rid="ref22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref> This different result of malnutrition among different parts of the country shows that there is existence of different socioeconomic and other factors that predispose the community to the problem, probably different feeding styles of different ethnic groups in the country.</p><p>According to the finding of this research, there was statistically significant association between nutritional care and support and undernutrition. Patients who did not get care and support were two times more likely undernourished as compared to their counterparts. This might be due to protein diet encouragement through nutritional care and support to build the muscle, organ, and strong immune system, which increase the nutritional status of the patient. Since morbidity of HIV increases the energy requirement and advancing undernutrition, low dietary intake leads to improper metabolism. This was in contradiction with the studies conducted in East Wollega, Oromia regional state, and Gonder referral hospital northwest Ethiopia which shows that there is no statistically significant association between nutritional care and support with undernourished.<xref rid="ref18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>,<xref rid="ref22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref> Diarrhea was the most common from opportunistic infection occurs on people LHIV. This study found significant association between diarrhea and undernutrition. From the respondents who develop diarrhea were 1.6 times more likely undernourished as compared to their counterparts.</p><p>HIV-related infection such as TB and diarrhea has severe nutritional consequences.<xref rid="ref23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref> This finding is in line with the idea of the WHO that diarrhea has significant effect on undernutrition of the respondents. This may be due to reducing dietary intake and nutrient absorption. On the other hand, the research conducted at Butajira Hospital shows that diarrhea has no effect on undernutrition.<xref rid="ref16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref></p><p>Severe food insecurity was found to have significant association with undernutrition. Adult people HIV positive on ART who have severe food insecurity were 1.6 times more likely undernourished as compares to those foods secure. Similarly, the study conducted in Nepal shows household with food insecure have highest odds of being undernourished while this result was in opposite with research conducted in Butajira Hospital south Ethiopia.<xref rid="ref16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>,<xref rid="ref24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref> This was obviously due to lack access to sufficient food to meet dietary needs for productive and health life, and it leads to deficiency of macro and micronutrient.</p><p>Regarding CD4, there was significant association between CD4 200-500 and >500 with undernutrition. Patients who have high CD4 count >200 cell/mm<sup>3</sup> were approximately half times less likely undernourished as compared to those with CD4 <200 cell/mm<sup>3</sup>. This is due to immune (resistance) against infection. Similarly, the study conducted in Senegal shows that CD4 was significantly associated with less CD4 count.<xref rid="ref25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref> Furthermore, the finding from Jima Specialized Hospital indicates that CD4 has significant effect on undernutrition; patients having baseline CD4 count <200 cell/µl was 5.7 times more malnourished.<xref rid="ref17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref> In other side, the finding of the research conducted in Dilla University Hospital southern part of Ethiopia shows that CD4 has no significant effect on undernutrition.<xref rid="ref26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref> This was in opposite to our finding, and probably the difference may be due to variation in study population and period.</p><p>The study revealed that khat chewing has significant effect on undernutrition. Adults HIV positive on ART were half times less likely undernourished. In other side, behavioral factors such as alcohol and smoking were found to have no significant association with undernutrition.<xref rid="ref24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref> Ever khat chewing while on ART has no significant effect on undernutrition.<xref rid="ref27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref> Since the study did not collect the amount and dose of khat consumption in time period, it may not induce the complication with khat chewing such as poor appetite, constipation, and other gastrointestinal problems.</p><p>After controlling the effect of confounding variables, patients who survived on ART for >12 months were 0.5 less likely undernourished as compared to those on ART for <6 months. Similarly, the study conducted in north central Nigeria and University of Gondar Northwest Ethiopia supports this study.<xref rid="ref22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>,<xref rid="ref28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref> This may be due to ARV drug improvement of immune status of the patient against opportunistic infection promoting healthy life.</p><p>As a limitation, using cross-sectional study design could not represent the whole time of undernutrition effects which limits the cause-and-effect relationship. Recall bias was the limitation of this study when measuring household food insecurity scales and household asset. Moreover, in using anthropometric measurement (BMI) to assess, the nutritional status of participant do not show the fat distribution of participant. The study did not include patients on ART who were taking ART in private health facilities.</p></sec><sec id="sec1-5"><title>Conclusion and Recommendations</title><p>In summary, our study provides a unique insight into prevalence and associated factors of undernutrition which greatly affect ART outcomes. The study revealed that the undernutrition was found to be high and its problem in HIV-positive patients is interworsen. Diarrhea, severe food insecurity, nutritional care and support, khat chewing, CD4 >200/µl, and duration on ART >12 months were independently associated with undernutrition. Comprehensive nutritional assessment during follow-up and routine nutritional supplement therapy for undernutrition in conjunction with early start on ART need to be initiated.</p></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgment</title><p>The authors would like to thank Haramaya University Health and Medical Science College staff for their support through the research work.
