Burden of metabolic syndrome in the global adult HIV-infected population: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) elevates the risk of heart disease and stroke. In recent decades, the escalating prevalence of MetS among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) has garnered global attention.
