- Abstract:
The article reports on the study that investigates cardiovascular risk factors in a group of antiretroviral (ARV)-treated patients in Malawi. The study shows that more patients were lean with a body mass index (BMI) of 22.7 kilogram per square meters, but waist-hip ratio (WHR) was raised in 45%. It reveals that hypertension was common, with 46% having a blood pressure (BP) level over 140/90 millimeter of mercury.
