Pilot Study to Prevent Frailty in People Living with HIV Aged 65 to 74

What this Trial Is About

This research focuses on people living with HIV PLWH aged 65 to 74, studying the development and prevention of frailty syndrome. Frailty involves multiple health issues, cognitive decline, and reduced physical reserves, leading to higher risks of hospitalizations and mortality. The study aims to understand how frailty affects this specific age group and validate a screening tool called the Fried scale in PLWH. Participants will be systematically screened using the Fried scale by a nurse before their physician visit. Those who screen positive for frailty risk will be referred for a specialized geriatric consultation to confirm their condition and receive a preventive care plan. After treatment, participants will complete a satisfaction questionnaire and undergo a follow-up Fried scale assessment one year later. Throughout the study, researchers will measure the number of PLWH aged 65 to 74 who have frailty or pre-frailty conditions at the start and one year later. The study involves regular screenings, consultations, and questionnaires to monitor participants health and satisfaction with care. This observational study will run until July 2028, with no experimental treatments involved.
