PREWAS(Prevention of Wasting)Prevention of Weight Loss in People
Living with HIV/AIDS PLWHAs (PREWAS)Implementers – Valid, MACRO, MoHStudy sites –
MACRO structure- LL, Mzuzu, (2008)Government Rural hospital structure
Mitundu (2009)

OBJECTIVE
Identify a nutrition intervention that would prevent wasting in PLWHAs in WHO stages 1 and 2 with CD4 Count >250
![Page 7: Theresa Banda. VI Operational Research Advocacy Technical support VN Production and marketing RUF Introduction.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649ef15503460f94c03165/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
TARGET GROUP
WHO Stage 1 or 2 with CD4 count >250
Well nourished and good health (no diabetes, hypertension, kidney)
Age 18 – 59, not on ARTDischarge criteriaMeets ART initiation criteriaHas developed stage 3 or 4 condition defining

Progress of studySlow progress – 288 out of
required 300 recruited into the study Phased out recruitment in MACRO
sites- follow ups only. Recruitment continues in Mitundu
Monthly follow-ups are a challenge in MACRO sites (urban areas)

ObservationsOnly 50 % of the clients collect CD4 count
results 50% of clients in WHO Stages 1 and 2 have
CD4 count >250 cells/ml CD4 count results are declining regardless
of nutritional status or history of illness Follow-up of clients is challenging-
preventive vs Curative culture, fear to be known, occupation-small business

SUB STUDIESBIO-ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS (BIA)
Is detailed assessment of body composition and cell condition using Bodystat® 1500MDD machine
Identifies malnutrition before weight, MUAC and BMI decrease

BIAVariables of interest :
Fat (weight, percentage, mass index),
Fat free (wt, mass index),Phase angle (measure of cell integrity),
Wellness markerBody mass index (BMI)
