“…e present study found that age > 45 years and high BMI to be positively associated with MS. Association between these traditional CVD risk factors and MS have been demonstrated in several studies among HIV-positive individuals [23,24,28,35]. While current study did not find any gender disparity in MS prevalence, Alvarez [24] and Berhane et al [26] observed a female preponderance.…”

“…83 It was noted that women from Europe and of unknown origin had a lower prevalence of MetS than women from South America, North America and Asia. The picture of MetS was mainly driven by high TC, TG and the presence of AO 69,84,85 and low HDL levels, 84 higher body mass index (BMI) and aging 86 may also be related to the increased prevalence of AO, abnormal HDL-C and PI use 46,86 in South American women. In North American women, the association between MetS and PI use has conflicting data 71,87 , and it is not possible to establish a causal relationship between these variables.…”
