Prevalence of metabolic syndrome and estimated Framingham risk score among Brazilian HIV-infected patients

摘要

Background: Recent studies suggest that HIV infection itself or combination ART (cART) were both associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The 10-year Framingham risk score (FRS) is used to predict cardiovascular events in the non-HIV-infected patients, and its application in the HIV-infected subjects is under discussion. We evaluated the traditional CVD risk factors and metabolic syndrome (MS) components among HIVinfected patients ART-treated and ART-na?ve.
