Metabolic Complications? Bone Dysregulation of glucose metabolism Body fat redistribution Lipid abnormalities Mitochondrial Toxicity
Soaring Diabetes statistics in Ethiopia Do ARVs contribute to this problem? Statistics International Diabetes Federation, 2011 ( Ref: http://www.idf.org/diabetesatlas/map) 1 - Prevalence of DM age 20-79 yrs= 3-5% (1.37 m) + 2- Prevalence of IGT age 20-79 yrs= 8.2% (3.26 m) > 4.5 million pts in Ethiopia (11.7% aged 20-79)
Study objectives In Ethiopian patients taking NNRTI based first line antiretroviral therapy, evaluate: 1. Prevalence of Insulin Resistance (IR) & related factors. 2. Prevalence of Dysglycemia & Dyslipidemia. 3. Prevalence of Metabolic syndrome 4. the Framingham score to estimate cardiovascular risk.

Framingham score values
Metabolic & CVS risks compared Cases Controls P-value Framingham score % mean + sd 3.9% + 4 2.9% + 3 0.015 Metabolic syndrome (%) 14(8%) 12(6.9%) 0.68 IFG (%) 60(34.5%) 58(33.3%) 0.82 Diabetes mellitus (%) 40(23%) 15(8.6%) 0.001 IFG & DM grouped (%) 100(57.5%) 73(42%) 0.004
Conclusion No strong correlation b/n NNRTI-based regimens & IR. Long term cumulative effect due to ↑ TG, age and HAART can’t be ruled out. Lipid adverse Effect of some NRTIs may be counterbalanced by lipid friendly ARVs like NVP. Framingham score not useful predicator in the young HIV- infected age group (< 30 yrs). ↑FPG detected among the cases not aware of DM. + DM prevalence increasing in the general population. = → Need for more frequent screening in the ART clinics.
