Figure 5. Linear Regression Analyses of Body Composition Parameters vs. BMI Among HIV-Infected and Control Females Without Metabolic Syndrome.
P values for differences in slopes between the HIV-infected and control groups without NCEP/ATP III defined metabolic syndrome were determined using ANCOVA, testing for an interaction between the groups.
P values for differences in Y-intercepts were determined using ANCOVA if the p values for the slopes were not statistically significantly different.
Parameter estimate derived from ANCOVA assessing the relationship of each body composition parameter to BMI and HIV status.
