Higher prevalence of hypertension was also observed for male patients, those who were overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) at treatment initiation or at time of the study, those who had a CD4 count above 200 cells/μL, and those presenting with hypercholesterolemia or hypertriglyceridemia, but differences were not statistically significant (Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene CD4 and familial hypercholesterolemia.
