SD GlycA = 65.4 μmol/L

Prevalence ratios (95% CI) are from Poisson regression models that were progressively adjusted as follows:

Model 1: adjusted for age, race, scanning center, pre/post 2001-cohort, and HIV sero-status (in whole cohort analysis).

Model 2 (Main Model): Model 1 + systolic BP, BMI, physical activity level, use of hypertension medications, use of diabetes medications, fasting glucose, total and HDL cholesterol, use of lipid lowering medications, pack-years of tobacco smoking, eGFR and hepatitis C virus (HCV) - infection status.

Model 3: Model 2 + ln hsCRP, ln D-dimer, ln IL-6 and Fibrinogen.

Model 4: Model 3 + sCD163, sCD14, and ln CCL2.

Model 5: Model 4 + CD4 cell count, presence of detectable HIV RNA, nadir CD4 cell count, history of AIDS, duration of HAART, and use of protease inhibitors.
