....from Jules: incidence of comorbidities increase with age & much higher among >60 yrs old & much higher among Black than non-Blacks......[authors conclude- These findings support the need for comprehensive management and interventions that address complex health needs, particularly among Black adults with HIV].....incidence rates double in 40-49 vs <40 & big increase to 50-59 & much higher increase in >60 vs 40-59....do you need any more info on what we are facing with the aging population
