BMI—body mass index, SHS—second hand smoking, ART—anti-retroviral therapy, TB—self-reported history of tuberculosis, CRP—C-reactive protein, Ref—reference group. Numbers in parenthesis are 95% confidence intervals. Multivariate models include age, sex, education, BMI, smoking, SHS, CD4 cell count, viral load, ART use, history of TB and plasma CRP levels. Pack-years smoked were excluded from the multivariate model due to collinearity.
