Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics as well of metabolic syndrome(MS) and risk status of cardiovascular disease in highly active antiretroviral therapy(HAART)-naive patients with human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) infection.Methods With 193 HIV infected patients as the study subjects, patients with(case group)and without(control group)MS were identified according to the MS diagnostic criteria, According to the Framingham risk score, patients with high risk of cardiovascular disease were selected as middle and high risk group, and those with low risk were selected as low risk group. Clinical characteristics were analysed by comparing the two groups. Results In our research, the prevalence of MS was 9.33%. The largest component was body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m2, followed by a decrease in high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C).Compared with the control group, patients with MS were older, and they had larger body mass index (BMI) (P < 0.05). The cardiovascular risk of MS patients was significantly higher than those without MS.Age, BMI and smoking history were associated with cardiovascular risk in newly diagnosed HIV patients. Patients at high risk of coronary heart disease had higher HIV RNA load, but the difference was not statistically significant.Conclusion Age and BMI were associated with the risk of metabolic syndrome.Cardiovascular risk of MS patients was significantly higher than those without MS.Related risk factors should be evaluated before HAART, and metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases should be closely monitored.
