Description

Abstract Text

Involuntary weight loss or wasting indicative of severe protein energy malnutrition is a frequent complication of AIDS. Since wasting associated with AIDS is characterized by a loss of muscle mass, and because the prognosis for patients with AIDS worsens with the loss of fat free mass, we hypothesize that a program of progressive resistance and aerobic exercise prescribed in combination with megestrol acetate will result in greater increases in lean body mass than either intervention alone for patients with AIDS-related weight loss.

Publications

Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
