Association between waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), fasting glucose, hematocrit, pulse pressure, and ischemic stroke among HIV/AIDS patients.
| Variables of interest | Presence of ischemic stroke mean ± SD | Absence of ischemic stroke mean ± SD | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| WC (cm) | 119.6 ± 5.8 | 98.7 ± 19.2 | <.0001 |
| HC (cm) | 118.8 ± 5.1 | 105.8 ± 16.6 | .002 |
| Fasting glucose (mg/dL) | 140.4 ± 10.9 | 116.4 ± 36.9 | .010 |
| Hematocrit (%) | 39.6 ± 0.04 | 32.9 ± 7.8 | <.001 |
| Pulse pressure (mmHg) | 86.1 ± 8 | 47.1 ± 16.4 | <.0001 |
| CD4+ count (cells/mm3) | 107.6 ± 1.7 | 207.6 ± 179.4 | .024 |
| Viral load | 132.103 ± 12.103 | 132.103 ± 258.03 | 1.000 |
