- Abstract
The article presents a study focusing on metabolic syndrome (MS) as a primary risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular disease among HIV-infected patients. The measurement of waist circumference (WC) was recommended by the European Clinical Society as it is an essential component of MS, based on the correlation between central obesity and insulin resistance. Researchers proposed that the measurement of MS should be properly assessed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of MS.
