Regression models to explore independent factors associated with intima-media thickness (pIMT).

aLogistic regression model: pathological intima-media thickness (pIMT) defined as IMT>1 mm analysed as categorical variable.bLinear regression model: mean IMT analysed as a continuous variable –plaque excluded from the analysis.NOTE: HAART, highly active antiretroviral therapy; PI, protease inhibitors; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance.OR, odds ratio – AOR, adjusted odds ratio.*Adjusted for Framingham risk score and HOMA-IR;**Mutually adjusted for all of the parameters tested in the univariate model.
