HIV is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but there has been less study of cardiovascular comorbidities among people with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. In a cross-sectional observational study, Tanzanian adults presenting for outpatient HIV care completed a questionnaire and underwent weight, height, blood pressure, and blood glucose measurement. Hypertension was defined by blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg or self-reported hypertension. Uncontrolled hypertension was defined as measured blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg. Diabetes was defined by fasting glucose ≥126 mg/dl, random glucose ≥200 mg/dl, or self-reported diabetes. Obesity was defined by body mass index ≥30 kg/m. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of uncontrolled hypertension. Among 500 participants, 173 (34.6%) had hypertension, 21 (4.2%) had diabetes, and 99 (19.8%) were obese. Of those with hypertension, 116 (67.1%) were unaware of their hypertension, and 155 (89.6%) had uncontrolled hypertension. In multivariate analysis, uncontrolled hypertension was associated with older age (OR 1.07, 95% CI: 1.05-1.10, < 0.001) and higher body mass index (OR 1.17, 95% CI: 1.11-1.22, < 0.001). Interventions are needed to improve screening and treatment for hypertension, diabetes, and obesity among Tanzanians with HIV.
HIV 与心血管疾病风险增加相关,但在撒哈拉以南非洲的 HIV 感染者中,对心血管合并症的研究较少。在一项横断面观察性研究中,坦桑尼亚成年人为门诊 HIV 护理就诊,完成了一份问卷,并进行了体重、身高、血压和血糖测量。高血压的定义为血压≥140/90mmHg 或自我报告的高血压。未控制的高血压定义为测量的血压≥140/90mmHg。糖尿病的定义为空腹血糖≥126mg/dl、随机血糖≥200mg/dl 或自我报告的糖尿病。肥胖的定义为身体质量指数≥30kg/m。进行多变量逻辑回归以确定未控制的高血压的预测因素。在 500 名参与者中,173 名(34.6%)患有高血压,21 名(4.2%)患有糖尿病,99 名(19.8%)肥胖。在患有高血压的患者中,有 116 名(67.1%)不知道自己患有高血压,有 155 名(89.6%)患有未控制的高血压。在多变量分析中,未控制的高血压与年龄较大(OR 1.07,95%CI:1.05-1.10,<0.001)和较高的体重指数(OR 1.17,95%CI:1.11-1.22,<0.001)相关。需要采取干预措施,以改善坦桑尼亚 HIV 感染者中高血压、糖尿病和肥胖的筛查和治疗。
