Prevalence and determinants of hypertension among people living with HIV in Ghana: A cross-sectional study
This study found a high prevalence of hypertension among PLHIV. Second-line ART may reduce the risk of hypertension, while higher muscle mass may have a protective effect. Further research is needed to better understand the impact of dietary diversity and specific dietary components on hypertension in this population.
