n is the number of observations included in the analyses; Results are from multivariate models that were adjusted for z score, CD4%, log10 HIV-1 RNA, and CDC category at baseline and dietary intake in excess of recommended cholesterol and total fat; z scores calculated by using age-, gender-, and race/ethnicity-matched control subjects from NHANES (see “Methods”). There were no significant associations with changes in glucose, insulin, or HOMA-IR at 24 or 48 weeks.
