^aReference: 1994–1999.

^bReference: age 18–34.

^cReference: normal BMI.

^dReference: 0–2 children; data on number of children available only for female subjects.

^eWomen with 6 or more children had greater odds of hypertension when controlling for age: HIV-negative subjects: OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.03–3.06; p = 0.04; HIV-positive subjects: OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.33–3.55; p<0.01.
