This is the first study intended to determine the NICMs rates affecting PLHIV who were under cART regimen in Ecuador.Methods: A total of 503 HIV-positive patients were evaluated during the period June 2015-November 2016 and included in a multicenter retrospective, cross-sectional study conducted in seven main government and nongovernment community-based hospitals in Ecuador.Results: The average age of the participants was 39.2±11.9 years old and the majority of them were male (67.2%). The average age at HIV diagnosis was 34.1 years old and cART in average was started 15.9 months after HIV-diagnosis. Recruited patients were receiving cART for an average of 59.2±40.2 months. Only 9.9% (n=50) of the patients did not show any NICMs. Diabetes and pre-diabetes was found in 6% (n=30) and 16.3% (n=82) patients, respectively; however, dyslipidemia and overweight/obesity was frequent, as they affected 41.4% (n=208) and 36.4% (n=183) patients, respectively. Sixty patients (11.9%) were diagnosed with depression and 28.2% (n=142) of the studied subjects were found to have other NICMs.Conclusion: Prevalence of NICMs among subjects under cART was greater than that reported among the Ecuadorian general population, therefore specific public health actions are required to make patients aware of and prevent NICMs among PLHIV in Ecuador.Keywords: HIV noninfectious comorbidities, people living with HIV, HIV combined antiretroviral therapy, HIV diagnosis, HIV treatment, HIV in developing countries, HIV in Ecuadorhttps://www.dovepress.com/increased-incidences-of-noninfectious-comorbidities-among-aging-popula-peer-reviewed-article-HIVHIV noninfectious comorbiditiespeople living with HIVHIV combined antiretroviral therapyHIV diagnosisHIV treatmentHIV in developing countriesHIV in Ecuador |
