Abbreviations: HAART, highly active antiretroviral therapy; 25(OH)D, 25-hydroxyvitamin D; Δ 25(OH)D, change in 25-hydroxyvitamin D; NS, not significant.
Definitions: CD4%, T helper cells %, CD45+/CD3+/CD4+; HLA-DR%, activated cytotoxic T cells %, CD3+/CD8+/CD38+; NK%, NK (natural killer) cells, CD45+/CD3−/CD16+CD56+; Th naïve%, naïve T helper cells %, CD3+/CD4+/CD45RA+/CD62L+.
Covariates included in all models were immune status at baseline, age, African-American, baseline HAART use, and change in HAART use during the study. For RNA (log10) (all), levels that were not detectable were set to the limit of detection (LOD) as LOD/√2. All overall models were significant at P < 0.001, with the exception of RNA (log10) (detectable only) at 12 mo which was not significant.
Sample sizes for baseline and 12 months, respectively: n = 54 and 47, RNA (log10) (all);
n = 23 and 19, RNA (log10) (detectable at baseline only);
n = 57 and 50, CD4%, NK%, HLA-DR%;
n = 56 and 50, Th naïve%.
