Incidence and associated factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus onset in the Brazilian HIV/AIDS cohort study

CONCLUSION: Brazilian PLH under cART are at significant risk of developing T2DM and share risk factors for diabetes onset with the general population, such as older age, obesity, and having metabolic abnormalities at baseline. Moreover, stavudine use was independently associated with incident T2DM. Identifying PLH at a higher risk of T2DM can help caretakers trigger health promotion and establish specific targets for implementation of preventive measures.PMID:34474003 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjid.2021.101608
