Predictors of Non-Communicable Disease Risk Factors Among People Living with HIV and HIV-Negative Patients in a Nigerian Tertiary Hospital
Predictors of behavioural risk factors among PLHIV included ART duration, gender, and self-rated health. In the HIV-negative group, age, gender, residence, income, and self-rated health were key predictors. The notable overlap between smoking and alcohol use underscores the need for integrated interventions targeting these behaviours in both populations.
