Abstract

Background: The time elapsed since HIV infection diagnosis (TdiagHIV) affects the quality of life (QoL) and can get worse when chronic illnesses start.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular risk (CVR) on the QoL of people living with HIV (PLHIV).

Methods: Cross-sectional study, with 60 PLHIV followed at a Reference Center in the city of Jataí, Goiás, Brazil. Data collection involved sociodemographic, clinical, CVR, MetS, and QoL information. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with the BioEstat 5.3 program adopting p<0.05.

Results: There was a predominance of men (61.7%), aged ≤38 years (53.3%), with a TdiagHIV of 97.88±85.65 months and use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) of 80.13±69.37 months. The worst domain of QoL was concern about confidentiality (40 points), and the best was medication concerns (95 points). MetS predominated at 18.3% and a moderate CVR at 11.7%. MetS was positively associated with age >38 years, the female sex, with the lowest score in QoL for general function, and the highest for TdiagHIV and the use of ART (p<0.05). A moderate CRV was positively related to higher TdiagHIV and ART use, and low HDL-c, and the lowest score for QoL was found for trust in a professional (p<0.05).

Conclusion: PLHIV who are older, have a higher TdiagHIV, and use ART are more likely to develop MetS and moderate CVR. The presence of these diseases in PLHIV causes impairment in areas of QoL.

Keywords: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, HIV, quality of life, metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemias, heart disease risk factors.
