Abstract
Background: The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has resulted in a dramatic decrease in morbidity and mortality in HIV-infected patients. Components of HAART (e.g., protease inhibitors and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors), as well as HIV infection itself, can have significant effects on developing new-onset diabetes. The goals of this study were to determine the prevalence of prediabetes and to assess risk factors associated with prediabetes in a cohort of HIV-infected patients.
Methods: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study of 249 HIV-infected patients in an outpatient multidisciplinary HIV clinic in a university hospital. Patients with prediabetes were identified and compared with patients without prediabetes. The association between the prevalence of prediabetes and risk factors was analyzed.
Results: Among 249 HIV-infected patients, the mean age was 46.3 years, and 54% were male. Prevalence of prediabetes was approximately 30%, and BMI ≥30 kg/m2 was found to be a significant risk factor for developing prediabetes.
Conclusion: A high prevalence of prediabetes was observed in this cohort of HIV-infected patients. Interventions targeting HIV-infected patients with increased risk of prediabetes, especially individuals with a high BMI, is needed.
