Abstract

Cognitive frailty (CF), which typically precedes dementia and functional decline, serves as a more robust predictor of adverse health outcomes compared to physical frailty alone, representing a critical challenge in promoting healthy aging among older people living with HIV (PLWH) aged ≥ 50 years. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of cognitive frailty and identify its associated factors among PLWH aged ≥ 50 years.

Research summary

The study investigates the prevalence and associated factors of cognitive frailty in older adults living with HIV. This research is relevant as it addresses cognitive frailty, which is a significant concern in the context of aging and age-related health outcomes, particularly in a vulnerable population.
