a P-values were calculated by Chi-square tests for categorical variables and generalized linear models (GLM) with normal distribution (log-link) for continuous variables; b P-values were calculated by GLM adjusted by the most important clinical and epidemiological characteristics (see Statistical analysis section). Metabolic disturbances and liver disease in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients. Categorical variables are expressed in percentage (absolute count) and continuous variables are expressed in estimated marginal mean ± standard error of the mean. Statistically significant differences are shown in bold. 95%CI, 95% confidence interval; aAMR, adjusted arithmetic mean ratio; aOR, adjusted odds ratio; BMI, body mass index; HCV, hepatitis C virus; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; HOMA-IR, homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance.
