Abstract

People with HIV are aging rapidly and face accelerated aging-related comorbidities, including cardiovascular diseases and cognitive impairment, due to prolonged HIV-associated inflammation. Physical activity (PA) is a well-established intervention to mitigate these risks; yet, most older people with HIV remain sedentary. Despite considerable efforts to understand PA determinants and design interventions for people with HIV, outcomes have been suboptimal.

Research summary

The paper aims to identify real-time predictors of physical activity among older people with HIV. This research is relevant as it addresses the health and activity levels of an aging population with a chronic condition, which is crucial for mitigating age-related comorbidities.
