Prevalence and Correlates of metabolic syndrome among people living with HIV receiving dolutegravir-based ART in Northwest Ethiopia: A cross-sectional study
Overall, our study showed that MetS (27.7%) was relatively common among PLWH receiving DTG-based ART. Alcohol use, inadequate physical activity, BMI ≥25 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, and CD4 T-cell count ≥500 cell/mm<sup>3</sup> were significantly associated with MetS. Routine clinical monitoring and assessment of all MetS components are recommended for PLWH receiving DTG-based ART, with particular attention to those who consume alcohol, have inadequate physical activity, elevated BMI, or higher CD4+ T-cell count.
