The concentration of each biomarker had been natural log-transformed and then standardized with mean = 0 and standard deviation = 1.

The model was adjusted for age, BMI, and HCV infection. An example of interpretation is that one SD increase of Eotaxin was significantly associated with 0.82 pg/mL higher levels of 25(OH)D in HIV+.

Bold font refers to P-value <0.05 from the multivariate regression model.

CI, confidence interval; HCV, hepatitis C virus.
