Abstract

Background: Frailty may affect people living with HIV (PLHIV) prematurely. Fried's frailty phenotype, composed of 5 criteria, is one of the most used instruments for its assessment. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of these criteria among PLHIV classified as prefrail and frail in Brazil.

Methods: A cross-sectional study analyzed the prevalence of the Frailty Phenotype in Brazil with 670 individuals aged ≥ 50 years and undetectable viral load.

Results: The prevalence of prefrail and frail individuals was 50.7% and 13.6%, respectively. A low level of physical activity was the most prevalent criterion (50.9%). Except for unintentional weight loss, all other criteria were more prevalent among individuals with lower education levels. All criteria were more prevalent among individuals of lower socioeconomic status than among those of moderate or high status (P < .05).

Conclusions: A low level of physical activity was the component that most contributed to PLHIV being considered prefrail or frail.

巴西一项横断面研究：感染艾滋病毒的老年人中虚弱表型的流行率：巴西的一项横断面研究

背景：虚弱可能会过早影响艾滋病病毒感染者（PLHIV）。弗里德虚弱表型由 5 项标准组成，是最常用的评估工具之一。本研究旨在确定这些标准在巴西被归类为前体弱和体弱的艾滋病毒感染者中的流行率：一项横断面研究分析了巴西 670 名年龄≥ 50 岁且病毒载量检测不到的个体中体弱表型的流行情况：结果：体弱前型和体弱后型的患病率分别为 50.7% 和 13.6%。体力活动少是最普遍的标准（50.9%）。除无意中体重减轻外，所有其他标准在受教育程度较低的人群中都更为普遍。所有标准在社会经济地位较低的人群中都比在社会经济地位中等或较高的人群中更普遍（P 结论）：体力活动水平低是导致艾滋病毒感染者被认为是体弱多病的最主要因素。
