Excludes those currently on hypoglycemics or glucose ≥126.
*
Model also controls for ethnicity, age, gender, alcohol (HIV only), current crack or cocaine use (HIV only), and adequacy of food (controls only).
†
HOMA was log-transformed; results were back-transformed to produce estimated percentage differences in HOMA attributable to each factor
Est. indicates estimated.
