aBinary variables were compared using by the McNemar test; continuous variables, using the Wilcoxon signed rank test; ordinal variables, using mixed ordinal logistic regression; and N×N (N > 2) nominal variables, using mixed multinomial logistic regression models.
bCalculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the height in meters squared.
cVisit 1 includes missing data (CD4+ T-cell counts for 6 participants) that were predicted using multiple imputation methods.
dDetected by a rapid plasma reagin screen.
