Clinical characteristics of study population

Characteristics	Whites (n=139)	Blacks (n=168)	P-value
Men/Women^* (n)	90/48	105/58	NS
Age (yrs)	47.2±8.5	48.0±8.4	NS
Weight (kg)	82.3±16.8	85.2±19.3	NS
BMI (kg/m²)	27.3±5.8	28.4±6.3	NS
CD4+ T-cell count (cells/mm³)	505±294	442±268	NS
Plasma viral load (copies/ml)	50 (48–4241)	63 (48–12736)	NS
Plasma viral load (log₁₀ copies/ml)	1.70 (1.68–3.63)	1.80 (1.68–4.11)	NS
LDL cholesterol (mg/dl)	99±34	91±33	NS
HDL cholesterol (mg/dl)	46±17	51±20	NS
Lipoprotein(a) (mg/dl)	11 (2–26)	39 (16–77)	<0.001
Triglyceride (mg/dl)	140 (106–213)	118 (81–167)	0.002

Values are expressed as mean ± SD and median (interquartile range) for non-normally distributed values. Values for triglycerides and plasma viral load were logarithmically transformed and values for lipoprotein(a) were square root transformed before analyses.

A total of six subjects (one white and five blacks) fell into category of “transgender”.

BMI, body mass index; NS, non significant
