Patients were classified according to Fried frailty phenotype. Questionnaires on anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale), loneliness (University of California), resilience (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale [10-item version]), and socioeconomic information were collected from the participants, their medical history was reviewed to collect comorbidities, non-AIDS events, and drug use.
