Each model controls for demographics, lifestyle factors, HIV-related factors, VAT, SAT, and IMAT. Factors with P > 0.05 did not enter into the model above, but are shown controlling for other factors in the model. Significant P values are shown in boldface.

CI, confidence interval; HOMA, homeostatis model assessment; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; IMAT, intermuscular adipose tissue; SAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; VAT, visceral adipose tissue.

Measures are height-normalized and log2-transformed; results are back-transformed to calculate percent effects.
