The HRs (95% CIs) are adjusted intended for age, sex, use of antiretroviral therapy, vitamin supplementation, anemia and systolic and diastolic blood pressure, MUAC, alcohol use, total n3-fatty acids, total saturated fat, total monounsaturated fat and total trans fat, all measured in plasma. Sensitivity analyses stratifying by ART status at baseline to capture ART experience before cohort enrolment halved the sample size for each analysis and overall showed similar associations in the ART experienced and ART nave groups. acids levels were positively associated with CD4 counts at baseline but not during follow-up. In models that included all five major n6-fatty acids, age, sex, BMI, anemia status and use of antiretroviral therapy, multivitamin supplements and alcohol, the risk of death or hospitalization decreased significantly with increase in linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic…
