Article Synopsis
- The study investigates physical activity levels in people living with HIV (PLHIV) and those without HIV (PWOH) in Uganda, focusing on its relationship with coronary artery disease (CAD) as detected by computed tomography.
- Researchers analyzed data from 168 participants, revealing that males engaged in more moderate-to-vigorous physical activity than females, although overall activity levels were low for both groups compared to recommended guidelines.
- After considering age and sex, the study found no significant link between physical activity and the presence of CAD, suggesting that other factors may contribute to cardiovascular disease risk in this population.
