Prevalence and determinants of metabolic syndrome among adults living with HIV on first-line antiretroviral treatment in southern Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study
The noticeable prevalence of MetS among PLWH highlights its potential to increase cardiovascular risks. Therefore, routine screening of PLWH for components of MetS is essential to reduce the health risks associated with metabolic disorders. As most of the identified risk factors are modifiable, implementing lifestyle interventions is also imperative.
