Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment using Thai CV Risk in People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and Risk Factors
Cardiovascular Disease Risk in People Living with HIV/AIDS
Keywords:
cardiovascular diseases, people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), Thai CV riskAbstract
Cardiovascular disease is an important chronic non-communicable disease and a cause of death for Thai people. People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) have life expectancy near of individuals without HIV infection. HIV infection is considered to be at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Assessment of the risk of cardiovascular disease using Thai CV risk was therefore studied among PLWHA. A cross-section study during 1-31 October 2023 evaluated 202 patients by using Thai CV risk. It was found that 171 patients had low Thai CV risk scores and 31 patients had medium-high scores. The average age was 47 years, 108 patients were male (53.5%), 116 patients had underlying diseases (57.4%). Overall, smoking was found in 33 patients (16.3%) and drinking alcohol in 68 patients (33.7%). Regular exercise was found in 68 people (33.7%). Factors associated with medium-high risk scores were every 5 years increase in age, diabetes mellitus and hypertension. In summary, PLWHA have higher risk of cardiovascular disease than the general population. Therefore, it should be vigilant and encourage self-management to reduce risk, especially in patients with high risk factors.
