Obesity, Hypertension, and Hyperuricemia Among People Living with HIV in Ghana

Anonymized clinical data from a cross-sectional study investigating the association between obesity and hyperuricemia, and the modifying effect of hypertension, among people living with HIV in Ghana. The dataset includes participant demographic, clinical, anthropometric, blood pressure, and biochemical variables. It was authored by John Tetteh and last updated on 2026-05-26 to support transparency and secondary research.

Use Cases

• Train predictive models for hyperuricemia risk based on obesity and hypertension status.
• Conduct statistical analysis of demographic factors associated with obesity in an HIV-positive cohort.
• Study correlations between clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical variables in a specific patient population.
• Validate findings on the intersection of metabolic syndrome and HIV care in a Ghanaian context.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly de-identified to protect participant confidentiality.
• Dataset supports transparency and reproducibility for the associated published study.
• Includes multiple variable types: demographic, clinical, anthropometric, blood pressure, and biochemical.

Limitations

• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic and population bias inherent to a single-country, HIV-care cohort.
