aRisk of acute MI; adjusted for age, sex, and smoking. Because ORs can give inflated estimates of risk when the outcome is common, it is likely that the RRs of traditional risk factors in INTERHEART are smaller, and thus closer to that of HIV. bRisk of ASCVD (CVD, stroke, or MI); adjustment for confounders was limited to those available in the primary studies. cHigh ApoB/ApoA1 ratio. dOR (99% CI) for current smoking; PAR for any smoking. ePAR for 2015 using prevalence data for HIV for the 15–49 year age group.
