A ROIs on a standard brain template. Color bar indicates
the % of volume difference between PWH and SN participants. B-D
Regardless of smoking status, PWH participants had smaller thalamus
(−3.9%, p=0.001), putamen (−3.7% p=0.017) and pallidum
(−3.3%, p=0.045) than SN participants. E Caudate tended to
be smaller in PWH compared to SN participants (−3.1%, p=0.057).
F Regardless of smoking status, PWH participants had smaller
hippocampus (−2.5%, p=0.036) than SN participants. Regardless of HIV
serostatus, tobacco smokers tended to have smaller hippocampi than nonsmokers
(−2.87%, p=0.055). G-H Regardless of tobacco smoking status,
PWH participants had smaller total subcortical gray matter (−3.0%,
p=0.001) and cortical white matter (−2.7%, p=0.002) than SN individuals.
PWH=people with HIV disease and are non-smokers, SN= HIV seronegative
non-smokers, SN_S=HIV seronegative tobacco smokers, PWH_S=PWH tobacco smokers,
GM=gray matter.
