Multivariate adjusted logistic regression analysis.

	Adjusted
	RR (95% CI)	P value
Age (30-50 years)	3.26 (0.928-11.505)	<0.001
Gender (female vs male)	4.502 (3.227-6.281)	<0.001
Time since diagnosis of HIV infection >5 years	1.780 (1.314-2.411)	< 0.001
Body mass index >20	0.194 (0.076-0.497)	<0.001
Total cholesterol <140 mg/dL	1.468 (0.949-2.271)	<0.001

The final model of multivariate analyses was adjusted for the following predictors: age, gender, time of diagnosis of HIV-infection >5 years, BMI >20, viral load ≥50 copies/mL,and total cholesterol <140 mg/dL.
