Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the cross-sectional association between some sociodemographic factors and antiretroviral therapy (ART), as well as the incidence and predictors of type 2 diabetes mellitus among Central Africans with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease.
This study had a cross-sectional design and was a prospective analysis of 102 patients with HIV disease (49 on ART versus 53 not on ART) in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, between 2004 and 2008. A Cox regression model was used to assess for any relationship between type 2 diabetes and exposure to combination ART without protease inhibitors, after adjusting for known risk factors for type 2 diabetes, nadir CD4 and CD8 levels, viral load, marital status, and religion.
Unexpectedly elevated rates of smoking, excess alcohol intake, and ART-related total, abdominal, and peripheral obesity were observed in our study group of HIV patients. At the end of follow-up, five patients were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (incidence rate 4.9%, 9.8 per 1000 person-years). Univariate risk factors for type 2 diabetes were male gender (relative risk [RR] 1.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01–1.4;
ART-related obesity and type 2 diabetes are becoming increasing problems in Central Africans with HIV disease. A relative increase in nadir CD4 count and traditional religion status appear to be the strongest independent predictors of type 2 diabetes.

It shows unexpectedly low rates of underweight, with two thirds of participants being of ideal normal weight and one third being overweight or obese. Rates of abdominal obesity (39.6%, n = 40) and peripheral obesity (36.3%, n = 37) were also high among these patients with HIV disease. Abdominal and peripheral obesity were more prevalent in patients with ART exposure (peripheral obesity in 55.1%, <italic>P</italic> = 0.002; abdominal obesity in 63.3%, <italic>P</italic> < 0.01) than in patients without ART exposure (peripheral obesity in 18.9%, and abdominal obesity in 17%). Paradoxically, abdominal obesity/clinical insulin resistance was present in patients who were underweight, of normal weight, and with overweight/total obesity (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2-ijgm-5-983">Figure 2</xref>). At 3-month follow-up, changes in nadir CD4 count from less than to more than 200/mm<sup>3</sup> occurred in 45 patients on combination ART (98.8%) and in three patients not on combination ART (5.7%), and the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic> < 0.0001).</p><p>Significantly lower rates of anxiety, smoking, and excess alcohol intake but higher values for HIV duration and baseline CD4 counts were present in patients following new charismatic religion than those following a traditional religion (<italic>P</italic> < 0.0001, <xref ref-type="table" rid="t3-ijgm-5-983">Table 3</xref>).

However, after multivariate analysis and adjustment for gender, ARV exposure and marital status, only changes in increased nadir CD4 count and following a traditional religion independently predicted onset of type 2 diabetes (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t5-ijgm-5-983">Table 5</xref>).</p></sec><sec sec-type="discussion"><title>Discussion</title><p>The data show that these African HIV patients are at high cardiovascular risk because of unexpectedly elevated rates of total obesity, smoking, excess alcohol intake, abdominal obesity, peripheral obesity, and physical inactivity. Physical inactivity and social stigma may explain the high rates of obesity in our study because there was not significant association between anthropometry, total cholesterol, and exposure to ART at the entry. This study demonstrated that before introduction of ART in 2004, no cases of diabetes mellitus were reported among these HIV-infected patients. HIV infection on its own was previously thought to be a significant protective factor against the onset of diabetes. However, although protease inhibitors were not available to these patients, the present study has shown an increased risk of type 2 diabetes amongst them, as reported elsewhere.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b7-ijgm-5-983">7</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b13-ijgm-5-983">13</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b15-ijgm-5-983">15</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b32-ijgm-5-983">32</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b34-ijgm-5-983">34</xref> The estimated incidence rate of 4.9% (9.8 per 1000 person-years) of type 2 diabetes in the present cohort remains within the interval of 1%–13% reported in Africa.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b13-ijgm-5-983">13</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b15-ijgm-5-983">15</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b35-ijgm-5-983">35</xref> In Western countries, cardiometabolic effects related to protease inhibitors are well known in HIV patients.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b35-ijgm-5-983">35</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b36-ijgm-5-983">36</xref> However, the incidence was lower than the 17–47 per 1000 person-years of incident cases of diabetes in the multicenter AIDS cohort study.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b36-ijgm-5-983">36</xref> Ethnicity, sample size, criteria used to define diabetes (a single elevated fasting blood glucose measurement), treatment with protease inhibitors, demographic composition (older age), and higher BMI may explain the differences in incidence rates for diabetes among HIV patients and across the continents.

There was a significant association between abdominal obesity (a surrogate for clinical insulin resistance in this ethnic group), peripheral obesity, and exposure to ART. Although the mechanisms of action by which protease inhibitors and nucleoside analogs trigger diabetes is not fully understood, most of the hypothesized pathophysiology implicates the insulin resistance pathway<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b16-ijgm-5-983">16</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b17-ijgm-5-983">17</xref> rather than insulin secretion.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b38-ijgm-5-983">38</xref></p><p>It is important to highlight that exposure to ART had no significant effect on CD4 counts in this study. This means that other factors, such as effective control of HIV-related opportunistic infections, appropriate diet (vitamins), and reduced stress may increase the CD4 count,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b39-ijgm-5-983">39</xref> including the nadir CD4 count during the early stages of ART in HIV patients with CD4 counts > 350 cells/mm<sup>3</sup> and during monitoring of treatment, ie, clinical pharmacovigilance. Indeed, treatment-naïve HIV patients in the same area of Kinshasa and practicing new charismatic religion imported from the US receive more social support, have lower rates of depression and stress, and are less likely to progress to AIDS than their counterparts practicing the more traditional religions.<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b23-ijgm-5-983">23</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b25-ijgm-5-983">25</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b39-ijgm-5-983">39</xref> This may explain the higher risk for new-onset type 2 diabetes in HIV patients with new traditional religion.
