Cardiometabolic syndrome in HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients at Zewditu Memorial Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: a comparative cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Cardiometabolic syndrome (CMetS) has recently emerged as a serious public health concern, particularly for individuals living with chronic conditions. This study aimed to determine the incidence and prevalence of CMetS, as well as the risk factors linked with it, in HIV-positive and HIV-negative adult patients.

Methods

A comparative cohort study was designed. The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) tools were used to determine the outcome variables. Association studies were done using logistic regression.

Result

CMetS was found to have a greater point and period prevalence, and incidence estimation in HIV-negative than HIV+ patients using both the NCEP and the IDF tools. Using the NCEP tool, the risk of obesity was 44.
