Although our study population was asymptomatic and without known organ diseases, we found a high prevalence of pre frail and frail patients with cognitive impairment and depression. Factors associated to frailty were smokers status, HCV coinfection, depression, cognitive impairment, PI-based therapy and an increased inflammatory milieu in terms of sCD14.
Multivariate analysis with a larger sample is needed to confirm these results.
