Abstract

Background: METHADONE is associated with a statistically significant increase in BMI in the first 2 years of treatment.Objectives: To evaluate the changes of body composition (bone mass, % fat, % muscle mass, % water, and basal metabolic rate) related to this increase.Patients and Methods: Changes in body composition were monitored, via bioelectrical impedance, in 29 patients in METHADONE treatment for opiate dependency (age 18 to 44, mean=29.3, SD=7.0, 13 men, 16 women).Results: Within one year from admission to treatment, a statistically significant (t-tests, P<0.05) increase was noted in their BODY MASS INDEX (BMI), % of body fat, average body mass, and average basal metabolic rate, and relative decrease in their % of muscle mass and % of bone mass. Neither absolute bone mass nor muscle mass changed significantly.Conclusions: Physicians involved in care of METHADONE patients should recommend dietary and lifestyle changes to improve their overall health.
