Association between self-reported marijuana use and incident diabetes in women and men with and at risk for HIV.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Marijuana use is common among persons living with HIV, but whether it's use increases the risk of type 2 diabetes in this population has not been explored.

Objective

To determine whether self-reported marijuana use is associated with incident type 2 diabetes in women and men living with and at risk for HIV.

Methods

We analyzed data from the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) and Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS), between 2000-2017 (WIHS) and 1999-2017 MACS. The association between self-reported marijuana use and incident type 2 diabetes was analyzed using time-dependent Cox regression models among 3578 and 2682 participants in the WIHS and MACS respectively.
