Abstract
- The menopausal transition is a pivotal time of cardiovascular risk, but knowledge is limited in HIV. We studied longitudinal carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) in the Women's Interagency HIV Study (2004–2019; 979 women/3247 person-visits; 72% with HIV). Among women with HIV only, those who transitioned had greater age-related CIMT progression compared to those remaining premenopausal (difference in slope = 1.64 µm/year, P =.002); and CIMT increased over time in the pretransition (3.47 µm/year, P =.002) and during the menopausal transition (9.41 µm/year, P <.0001), but not posttransition (2.9 µm/year, P =.19). In women with HIV, menopause may accelerate subclinical atherosclerosis as measured by CIMT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
