Prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in Spanish HIV-1-infected male inmates

Table 1 Cardiovascular risk factors prevalence stratified by age group.

Age	Smokers	Diabetes	Hypertension	Tot Chol > 200	HDL Chol <39
<34	99,44%	0,00%	8,33%	13,89%	72,22%
35-39	100%	3,23%	8,07%	8,07%	43,55%
40-44	100%	3,60%	12,50%	23,20%	51,80%
45-49	100%	0,00%	4,65%	9,31%	60,00%
50-54	100%	26,67%	20%	13,34%	46,00%
55-60	100%	0,00%	75%	100%	0,00%
Overall prevalence	99,07%	3,70%	10,60%	15,27%	53,24%
P	0,455	0,029	0,023	0,001	0,029

Age(p<0.001), total cholesterol(p<0.001), HDL cholesterol(p = 0.029), diabetes mellitus(p = 0.029), hypertension(p = 0.023), and nadir CD4 <200 cells(p = 0.04) were significantly associated with an increased CVR. Smoking, chronic HCV-hepatitis, cocaine use, and the HIV-1 VL were not significantly associated with an increased CVR. There is a trend towards an increased prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and hypertension paralleling the aging.
