Data are percentage and 95% confidence intervals; ATPIII: Adult Treatment Panel III; EGIR: European Group for the Study of Insulin Resistance; IDF: International Diabetes Federation; JIS: Joint Interim Statement; HIV: human immunodeficiency virus; ART: antiretroviral therapy. Data were missing for some characteristics. For each grouping variable for which data were missing for some participants, the number of participants with valid data is provided (attached to the name of the variable), as well as the overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome in that subsample.
