Adjusted for age, current heroin use, albumin, BMI<18.5, and HIV viral load. bThe cutoffs for components of metabolic syndrome are as follows: high triglycerides>150 mg/dL, low HDL<40 mg/dL (M) or<50 mg/dL (F), high fasting glucose>100 mg/dL, waist circumference>102 cm (M) or>88 cm (F), blood pressure≥130/85 mm Hg.
