Overview

Cross-sectional survey explored the impact of lifestyle factors on quality of life in older adults with HIV, suggesting improvements post-ART.

Key Points

  • Perceived quality of life significantly improved from 52% poor before ART to 35% after ART initiation.
  • Older adults over 60 years old consistently reported poorer quality of life, with specific lifestyle factors impacting these perceptions.
  • Engaging in regular sports and consuming white meat positively influenced the quality of life among participants.
  • Findings highlight the need for tailored interventions to improve quality of life for older adults living with chronic illnesses like HIV.
