Determinants of aortic PWV in multiple regression model

	β	P-value
HIV group
LDL-C	0.02 ± 0.05	<0.001
Age	0.067 ± 0.023	<0.0047
Controls group
Total cholesterol	0.011 ± 0.005	0.0455
Fasting plasma glucose	0.025 ± 0.012	0.0414

Notes: HIV group-included variables: LDL-C and age (R² = 0.16; P < 0.05). Controls group-included variables: total cholesterol and fasting plasma glucose (R² = 0.17; P < 0.05).

Abbreviations: PWV, pulse wave velocity; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
