Smoking and diabetes prevalence was 3% (n=5/200) and 4% (n=7/200).

Smoking and diabetes prevalence was 3% (n=5/200) and 4% (n=7/200). HscTnI was below the limit of quantification (<2.5 ng/L) in 65% (n=109/169). High (>3 mg/L), intermediate (1–3 mg/L) and low (<1 mg/L) hsCRP levels were found in 38% (n=75/198), 33% (n=65/198) and 29% (n=58/198), respectively. Framingham laboratory-based risk scores classified 83% of PLHIV at low risk with 12% and 5% at intermediate and high risk, respectively. Older age (adjusted OR (aOR) per year increase 1.05, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.08) and systolic blood pressure (140–159 mm Hg (aOR 2.96; 95% CI 1.09 to 7.90) and >160 mm Hg (aOR 4.68, 95% CI 1.55 to 14) compared with <140 mm Hg) were associated with hscTnI levels. No associations were observed between hsCRP and CVD risk factors.ConclusionThe majority of PLHIV—using traditional risk estimation systems—have a low estimated CVD risk likely reflecting a younger aged population predominantly consisting of women. Hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia were common while smoking and diabetes rates remained low. While hscTnI values were associated with increasing age and raised blood pressure, no associations between hsCRP levels and traditional cardiovascular risk factors were observed.</description><identifier>ISSN: 2044-6055</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2044-6055</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2022-062352</identifier><identifier>PMID: 35667720</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: British Medical Journal Publishing Group</publisher><subject>Adult cardiology ; Blood pressure ; Cardiovascular Medicine ; Cross-sectional studies ; Diabetes ; EPIDEMIOLOGY ; HIV ; HIV & AIDS ; Human immunodeficiency virus ; Hypertension ; Risk factors</subject><ispartof>BMJ open, 2022-06, Vol.12 (6), p.e062352-e062352</ispartof><rights>Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2022.
