Abstract

People with HIV (PWH) experience a higher burden of aging-associated comorbidities, the underlying mechanisms of which remain to be fully elucidated. We aimed to identify profiles based on immune, inflammatory, and aging biomarkers in blood from PWH and controls, and explore their association with total comorbidities over time.

Research summary

The paper claims that a specific biomarker profile indicative of preserved thymic function is linked to fewer aging-related comorbidities in people with HIV. This research is relevant as it explores the relationship between immune function and aging, potentially addressing underlying mechanisms of aging-related diseases in a specific population.
