a
Nonparametric median test p value reported separately for each racial/ethnic and age group by HIV status; p value <0.05 indicates a significant difference in median BMI by HIV status.
b
Nonparametric median test p value reported separately for HIV+ and HIV− women; p value <0.05 indicates a significant difference in median body mass index (BMI) by race/ethnicity or age group.
IQR, Interquartile range; AA, African American.
