Prevalence of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors Among People Living with HIV in Southern Texas
AIDS RESEARCH AND HUMAN RETROVIRUSES(2021)
摘要
The aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors among people living with HIV (PLWH) in the south Texas region between 2014 and 2018. A total of 2,808 PLWH from the southern Texas region were included using electronic medical records from a combination of health care system databases. The prevalence of cardiometabolic factors such as elevated blood pressure (BP), triglycerides, total cholesterol and blood glucose, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and obesity was evaluated. The association between cardiometabolic risk factors and age, sex, race/ethnicity, and HIV-related variables was evaluated using logistic regression. Approximately 50.8% had elevated BP, followed by low HDL-C (41.7%), elevated glucose (40.3%), elevated triglycerides (35.5%), obesity (27.8%), and elevated total cholesterol (20%). Hispanics had a higher prevalence of low HDL-C (45.5% vs. 39.7%, p = .012), elevated glucose (48.9% vs. 36.3%, p < .001), elevated triglycerides (40.4% vs. 33.0%, p = .001), and obesity (31.3% vs. 26.0%, p = .004) than non-Hispanics. Females had a higher prevalence of low HDL-C (51.9% vs. 39.1%, p < .001), elevated total cholesterol (24.4% vs. 18.8%, p = .010), and obesity (49.5% vs. 21.8%, p < .001) than males. Variables such as age, sex, race/ethnicity, CD4(+) T cell count, and viral load use were associated with multiple cardiometabolic risk factors. The prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors remains high among PLWH in the southern Texas region, especially among Hispanics and females.
