Objective To explore the prevalence of dyslipidemia and its high-risk factors among treatment-naive HIV-infected individuals in Shenzhen, China. Methods Antiretroviral therapy-naive HIV-infected adults who were treated in Shenzhen Third People’s Hospital in 2018 were enrolled in the study. Their general data and clinical information were collected. The average levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), the overall prevalence of dyslipidemia, and the prevalences of high TC, high TG, high LDL-C and low HDL-C were analyzed. The influencing factors of dyslipidemia were analyzed using multivariate Logistic regression model. Results A total of 1195 antiretroviral therapy-naive HIV-infected individuals were enrolled in this study. The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia was 49.04% (586/1195), and that in males and females was 49.86% and 39.80%, respectively (χ2=3.65, P=0.060). The prevalences of high TC, high TG, high LDL-C, and low HDL-C was 13.31% (159/1195), 15.40% (184/1195), 33.72% (403/1195) and 9.21% (110/1195), respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that the elderly (≥ 35 years old) and obesity were the independent risk factors of high TC. The elderly, overweight, obesity and low CD4/CD8 ratio were the independent risk factors of high TG. The male, diabetes, overweight, obesity, low CD4/CD8 ratio, WHO HIV clinical staging at IV stage, and HIV RNA ≥105 IU/mL were the risk factors of low HDL. The diabetes, overweight, obesity, low CD4/CD8 ratio, and HIV RNA ≥105 IU/mL were the risk factors of high LDL-C. Conclusions The prevalence of dyslipidemia is high in treatment-naive HIV-infected individuals. The classical factors including the elderly, overweight, obesity, and diabetes, and factors associated with HIV infection including low CD4/CD8 ratio, advanced stage in WHO HIV clinical staging, and high HIV RNA load are the risk factors of dyslipidemia. This study suggests that the routine screening of dyslipidemia for treatment-naive HIV-infected individuals screening and evaluation for those with abnormalities of other metabolism related factors at advanced HIV stage are essential in clinic. |
