We examined prevalence incidence MetS in ART-naive HIV-infected individuals starting ART. Methods: MetS, defined by the Adult Treatment Panel III criteria, was assessed at after ART initiation who enrolled selected AIDS Clinical Trials Group trials were followed long-term these as part Longitudinal Linked Randomized...
Data on changes in metabolic syndrome (MetS) status HIV-infected adults antiretroviral therapy (ART) are limited.MetS was assessed at ART initiation and every 48 weeks ART-naive individuals from the AIDS Clinical Trials Group Longitudinal Linked Randomized (ALLRT) cohort. MetS, defined using Adult Treatment Panel III criteria, required least 3 of following: elevated fasting glucose, hypertension, waist circumference, triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
