Association Between Weight Gain and the Incidence of Cardiometabolic Conditions Among People Living with HIV-1 at High Risk of Weight Gain Initiated on Antiretroviral Therapy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been associated with weight gain in people living with HIV-1 (PLWH); however, limited research has assessed whether early weight gain post-ART initiation is associated with metabolic or cardiovascular outcomes among PLWH at high risk of weight gain (i.e., female, Black or Hispanic). This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes between PLWH at high risk of weight gain following an observed ≥ 5% or < 5% weight/body mass index (BMI) gain within 6 months following ART initiation.

Methods

A retrospective longitudinal study using Symphony Health, an ICON plc Company, IDV® electronic medical records (October 1, 2014-March 31, 2021) identified adult female, Black, or Hispanic treatment-naïve PLWH wh
