Table 2.

Demographic and clinical characteristics associated with cardiometabolic outcomes and longitudinal changes in cardiometabolic disease biomarkers among people living with HIV in adjusted analyses. For diagnosed outcomes, each column shows adjusted odds ratios for separate multivariable logistic regression. For laboratory biomarkers, each column shows parameter estimates and 95% confidence limits for separate generalized estimating equations. All models also adjusted for site as a stratification factor.
