Figure 1. Inflammatory marker levels vary by HIV and HAART status.
Relative percentiles (RP) of inflammatory marker levels and 95 percent confidence intervals in HIV+ men (HAART (H) and no HAART (no H) groups) as compared to HIV− men (reference group, indicated by a horizontal line at 1.0), adjusted for age, race, smoking status, OLD, and BMI in a generalized gamma model. RPs are interpreted as follows: the relative percentile is the multiplicative factor by which the group of interest differs from the reference group. For example, a RP of 2 means that the levels are twice as high as those in the reference group. (* p < 0.05 vs. HIV−; ^ p <0.05 vs. HIV+/No HAART)
