Continuous variables are presented as median (interquartile range)

MRS and CAP values were each standardized to a mean of 0 and standard deviation (SD) of 1. Therefore, the regression coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (CI) are reported as changes in SD units of the log-transformed MRS and CAP values. Positive values refer to more steatosis and negative values refer to less steatosis. For example, with each 5 point increase in BMI, logCAP values are 0.37 SD higher and logMRS values are 0.26 SD higher.

The CAP mean (SD) was 232 dB/m (51) and the logCAP mean (SD) was 2.36 (0.10).

The MRS mean (SD) was 0.04 (0.05) and the logMRS mean (SD) was −1.68 (0.49).

CAP mean (SD) by infection status: uninfected 247 dB/m (47), HIV-infected 234 dB/m (48), HCV-monoinfected 236 dB/m (69), HIV/HCV-coinfected 218 dB/m (54)

MRS mean (SD) by infection status: uninfected 0.05 (0.05), HIV-monoinfected 0.04 (0.05), HCV-monoinfected 0.02 (0.02), HIV/HCV-coinfected 0.04 (0.05)
