“…In the cross‐sectional studies that failed to reveal a link between prevalent hypertension and nadir CD4 cell count, 33–35 nadir was analyzed either as a continuous variable 34 or with the cut‐off level at 100 or 200 cells/μL, 33,35 which makes comparison with our study difficult. Furthermore, the outcome in these studies was prevalent hypertension 33–35 as opposed to that of sustained hypertension in the present study.…”

“…Moreover, incomplete immune recovery is linked to persistent immune activation, 28,29 microbial translocation, 18 and endothelial dysfunction 30 . Association between low nadir CD4 cell count and increased blood pressure (BP) after initiation of ART has been observed 31,32 ; however, others have failed to find a clear association with hypertension 33–35 …”

“…19 Hypertension (variably defined) is well described in older HIV-infected patients, with several cohort studies with mean ages of 40 to 50 years quoting prevalence rates of 8% to 33%. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] By contrast, patterns of hypertension in younger adults with HIV have been largely unknown. The high rate of hypertension diagnoses among young adults in our study needs to be confirmed in a larger population.…”

“…6,13,14 Em algumas casuísticas de doentes infetados, a hipertensão arterial tem surgido como mais prevalente do que nos grupos controlo, [15][16][17][18] relacionando-se com o índice de massa corporal, a idade, o sexo, o perfil lipídico, a distribuição da gordura corporal e a insulinorresistência. [18][19][20] A duração da terapia antirretrovírica combinada e o tipo de esquema terapêutico adotado parecem também influenciar a probabilidade de desenvolver hipertensão. 16,19,21 Todavia, estes resultados não são universais, existindo séries em que os valores tensionais são idênticos nos dois grupos, ou até inferiores nos indivíduos seropositivos sob terapêu-tica antirretrovírica.…”
