Low bone mass is a common issue for patients with HIV and has been associated with ART use, inflammation, hepatitis B or C coinfection, and lifestyle factors such as smoking and alcohol use. Because peak bone mass occurs during adolescence, the authors note that low bone mass during this period is particularly worrisome because it may increase the risk of fracture later in life.
