The high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus infection and the emergence of HIV-related metabolic syndrome from its successful treatment in African countries are discussed. The classical factors fuelling metabolic syndrome as well as the role of urbanization are considered in this review. The future impact of ongoing conflicts and famine in large parts of Africa on the burden of metabolic syndrome in this region is given some attention. The current pattern of metabolic syndrome in Africa may be modified to an even more distinct form, far from that seen elsewhere.
本文讨论了非洲国家人类免疫缺陷病毒感染的高流行率以及成功治疗后出现的与艾滋病毒相关的代谢综合征。本综述考虑了引发代谢综合征的经典因素以及城市化的作用。还关注了非洲大部分地区持续冲突和饥荒对该地区代谢综合征负担的未来影响。非洲目前的代谢综合征模式可能会转变为一种更为独特的形式，与其他地区所见的情况大不相同。
