ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Postpartum weight (PPW) contributes to long-term obesity, a growing concern in persons with HIV (PWH). We investigated whether inflammatory markers in pregnancy may be involved in postpartum (PP) obesity in PWH.SETTING:
A total of 57 pregnant PWH enrolled at ≤14 weeks gestation (T1) in Gugulethu antenatal care clinic in Cape Town and followed through 48 weeks PP were included.METHODS:
Plasma soluble (s) CD14, sCD163, leptin, tumour necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR-1), resistin, adiponectin, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were assayed in duplicate using the Luminex platform. We considered each inflammatory marker at T1 (n=57) and T3 (29-36 weeks gestation, n=31) as a separate exposure of interest. Linear mixed effects models were fit to examine whether each exposure was associated with average PPW and PPW trajectories; linear regression was used for associations with PPW change between T1 and 48 weeks.RESULTS:
Median age was 32 years (IQR, 29-35), 98% were multigravida, and 49% had a BMI≥30 kg/m2. Higher T1 sCD14 levels were associated with higher average weight through 48 weeks PP (ß = 0.002, p=0.04), and T3 sCD14 with higher PPW gain (ß = 0.007, p=0.04). Leptin (ß = 0.414, p<0.01), TNFR-1 (ß = 11.048, p<0.01) and resistin (ß = 0.714, p=0.01) at T3 were associated with higher average PPW, and IL-6 (ß = 2.266, p=0.02) with PPW gain.CONCLUSION:
These findings suggest that low-grade inflammation in pregnancy may play a role in postpartum obesity, pointing to potential mechanisms with implications for long-term cardiometabolic health in PWH.
