| Abstract |
Metabolic health is a cause for concern among those living with HIV, especially those on antiretroviral therapy. Physical activity (PA) is known to benefit metabolic health, however, few studies have objectively measured PA or investigated the relationship between PA and metabolic health among those living with HIV. In this study, PA and indices of metabolic health among twenty men living with HIV and twenty age matched HIV-negative men were measured. PA was measured using Actigraph accelerometers. Components of the metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance were measured using routine laboratory methods. Men living with HIV were significantly more physically active than HIV-negative men, and were reaching public PA guidelines. Significant inverse correlations between moderate PA and both insulin resistance (ρ -0.847; p < 0.001) and triglycerides (ρ -0.575; p = 0.013) were seen in those living with HIV. Results of this study emphasize the importance of an active lifestyle for those living with HIV. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 June 2018.
All research outputs
#6,626,235
of 23,849,058 outputs
Outputs from AIDS and Behavior
#1,039
of 3,566 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#123,964
of 426,562 outputs
Outputs of similar age from AIDS and Behavior
#23
of 88 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,849,058 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,566 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 426,562 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 88 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
