Key Points

The study aims to assess the prevalence and correlates of dyslipidaemia and cardiovascular risk among populations with and without HIV.
Observational cohort study design
Examined adults with and without HIV
Focus on social vulnerability and sex disparities
Assessment over a 10-year period
High prevalence of dyslipidaemia and CVD risk observed
Disparities noted based on HIV status and social vulnerability
Recommendations for routine lipid screening and integrated care for high-risk groups

Implication

Observational cohort study shows high prevalence of dyslipidaemia and cardiovascular risk in Rwanda, indicating need for integrated HIV-CVD care.

Abstract

Dyslipidaemia and elevated CVD risk are highly prevalent among the study participants, with disparities based on HIV status, sex, and social vulnerability. Routine lipid screening and integrated HIV-CVD care, particularly for high-risk subgroups such as older women, are essential for reducing the long-term CVD burden.
