Overview

Retrospective study reveals frailty affects 25% and cognitive impairment impacts 22% of PLWH, suggesting urgent care needs.

Key Points

  • Frailty was found in 25% of older adults with HIV, highlighting significant health risks in this population.
  • 42% of participants had a high Charlson Comorbidity Index, indicating multiple health issues requiring attention.
  • Cognitive impairment was observed in 21.8% of participants, showing a need for improved cognitive assessments in elderly PLWH.
  • High prevalence of comorbidities such as hypertension (55%) and diabetes (33%) underscores the complexity of managing aging PLWH.
