In this RLS, with patients having about five years of ART-experience, malnutrition appears to be driven mainly by a poor BMI, indicating that about one of ten patients falls within this severe condition. However, the largely normal nutritional profiles should be interpreted with caution, considering local realities and food support programs in place. The present outcomes highlight the need for monitoring nutritional status of people receiving ART in RLS, toward the design of optimal food interventions.
