Do traditional main cardiovascular risk factors predict the risk of CAD/CVD in HIV-infected (HIV+) similarly to HIV-uninfected (HIV−) persons?

		% Increase in risk per unit for each study
CV risk factor	Unit	HIV+(14,36)		HIV− (49–54)
Age	per 1 year older	9%	6%	6%–9% (7)
Sex	Male vs female	n.s.	110%	110%–160% (2)
Diabetes	Yes vs. no	260%	90%	140%–252% (3)
Smoking	Yes vs. no.	140%	290%	70%–290% (3)
Hypertension	Yes vs no	30%	80%	80%–90% (3)
Total cholesterol	per 1 mmol/L# ↑	-	26%	25%–33% (3)
HDL-cholesterol	per 1 mmol/L# ↑	-	−28%	−52% (1)
