Dyslipidemia is linked to advanced age, male gender, diabetes, smoking, alcohol consumption, and increased waist circumference, all of which could lead to an increased risk of CVD, according to the study. The study also revealed that the risks are less common in HIV + people than in HIV-negative ambulatory patients.
