CI, confidence intervals.

a

The cholesterol-based heart age model includes the following measures: age, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, mean SBP, antihypertensive medication use, smoking status, and diabetes status.

b

Predicted heart age is adjusted for age and race/ethnicity except in the age strata where it is adjusted only for race/ethnicity and in the race/ethnicity strata where it is adjusted only for age. P values were found by analysis of variance test and similarly adjusted.

c

Excess heart age was calculated as predicted heart age minus chronological age. P value were found by analysis of variance test and adjusted for age and race/ethnicity.

d

The proportion of participants with heart age that exceeded their chronological age by at least 10 years were calculated based on the calculated excess heart age of each individual. P values were found by logistic regression and adjusted for age and race/ethnicity.

e

Estimated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for prevalence estimates were calculated by transforming corresponding logit estimates from logistic regression into probability bounds.

f

Nadir CD4+ cell was defined as the lowest CD4+ count level since inclusion in the HOPS.

g

Virally suppressed indicates that the most recent viral load during the observation period (from 365 days before through 365 days after the index date) was undetectable or 200 copies/ml or less.
