Age and Sex-Adjusted Comparisons of Cardiac Risk Factors between HIV-Infected Children and NHANES (2003–2004) Controls

	HIV-Infected	NHANES
Risk Factor	N=42	N=4437	P-value
Triglycerides (mg/dL)	135.9 (13)	89.59 (2.66)	<0.001
Cholesterol (mg/dL)	172.3 (6.2)	162.8 (0.84)	0.12
HDL (mg/dL)	46.8 (2.0)	54.15 (0.46)	<0.001
LDL (mg/dL)	97.9 (4.9)	89.27 (1.01)	0.085
VAT (cm²)^*	20.2 (2.8)	n/a	n/a
SAT (cm²)^*	92.3 (13.3)	n/a	n/a

P values are from repeated measures linear regression models, adjusted for age and sex. Effect estimates are covariate-adjusted means (least-squares means) with standard errors.

VAT and SAT measures were obtained from 36 HIV-infected children (60 measures)

VAT = visceral adipose tissue

SAT = subcutaneous adipose tissue
