The number of children included in the model for PHIV and PHEU was as follows: total body z-scores N=388, N=198; spine z-scores N=382, N=196; total body BMC N=387, N= 197; spine BMC N=381, N=395.

No models were fit for high PTH among HEU children because only 5 had high PTH.

Adjusted models of bone outcomes included age at vitamin D measurement, black race, ancestral markers (African, Europe/CSW Asia, other), height z, extremity lean mass, vigorous activity > 75th percentile and CD4 count. When 25(OH)D status was the exposure, we additionally adjusted for percent body fat. When the outcome was Total body-BMC, Total body less head-BMC or Lumbar spine-BMC, we additionally adjusted for Tanner stage and sex.
