A 10-year follow-up study of demographic and cardiometabolic factors in HIV-infected South Africans.

Objectives: Understanding of the interplay between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and cardiovascular disease, especially in Africa, is limited to evidence from longitudinal studies. Therefore the demographic profile and cardiometabolic, renal and liver function of an HIV-infected South African population were profiled from 2005 to 2015.

Methods: The study included 117 HIV-infected and 131 uninfected controls that were examined at baseline, five and 10 years.
