The Interplay Between Age and Frailty in People Living With HIV: Results From an 11-Year Follow-up Observational Study.

ABSTRACT: Between 2006 and 2017, frailty prevalence decreased in HIV-positive individuals aged 50 years but presented a 3-fold increase among those 75 years of age. This dynamic relationship, defined as the frailty compression ratio, represents the net result of gero-inducing and gero-protective competing forces, described in the cohort.
