Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate metabolic disorders and cardiovascular risk in people living with HIV/AIDS before starting antiretroviral treatment.
- It involved 87 participants who exhibited common metabolic issues such as low HDL-cholesterol, high triglycerides, and abdominal obesity, with a notable prevalence of dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome.
- Despite some metabolic disorders, most participants had a low risk for coronary heart disease, though the authors noted that these metabolic issues could worsen with the introduction of antiretroviral therapy, especially in those with existing cardiovascular risk factors.
