Diabetes Mellitus and HIV Study in Mwanza

Summary

Emerging evidence from high-income countries suggests that diabetes mellitus is become a major health problem among HIV-infected patients. However, due to differences in social, environmental, and genetic factors data from high-income countries can not be extrapolated directly to low-income countries. This study investigates HIV, ART, inflammation, and body composition changes as risk factors for diabetes mellitus among HIV-infected patients in Tanzania.
