Odds ratios (OR) or Adjusted Odds ratios (OR) of having the given predictor value compared to the reference value by hypertension status.

Adjusted Odds ratios (AOR) of having the given predictor value compared to the reference value by hypertension status. For biomarkers at ART initiation, models are adjusted for age, gender, BMI, pre-ART CD4+ T cell count, and Log10 pre-ART HIV RNA viral load. For biomarkers at 6 months post-ART initiation, models are adjusted for age, gender, BMI, and pre-ART CD4+ T cell count since all participants had viral suppression.
