Cumulative Affects of Aging & HIV: mental & physical affects Reported at 2018 aging Workshop - 'mental & physical functional Disabilities'
|
|
|
20-40 years of living with HIV & being Over 65 Years old & its cumulative affects results in older HIV+ over 65 with .....
(1) 60% over 65 YO having frailty,
(2) 55% poor physical function/pain & moderate to severe bad quality of life & too many medications - polyphramcy - increases risk for cognitive impairment/falls & fractures,
(3) 50% with cognitiveAging & impairment ,
(4) women suffer aging consequences worse than men,
(5) 50% over 60 had falls in MACS - falls & fractures are double in prevalence in older HIV+ over 60 compared to HIV-neg,
(6) 64% are lonely / high rates of social isolation & being homebound - unable to shop for food,
(7) 40% may have fatty liver that is fatty liver disease without having HCV or HBV, "non-viral liver disease",
(8) at UCSD HIV clinic they saw a 1000% increase in HIV+ clients over 65.
(9) THE last session at the workshop was devoted to an open panel discussion on policy changes needed to provide support services for these disabled older HIV+ & how to get there because so far these needs are not getting the attention it deserves......its projected that 60% with HIV in the USA will be over 50 very soon & then to 75% with 80% having CVD & 30% malignancy - housing, food, becoming homebound & accessing healthcare will become very challenging for many older aging HIV+ who suffer disability which will be a highpercent of those aging and older, increasing as years go by.

Aging Workshop Summary Reports / Coverage by NATAP:
BRIEF TAKE-Home Messages
1- exhausted immune system in HIV+ contributes to premature aging;
2 - 64% lonely; 50% unable to physically function & poor quality of life, and exhausted,
3- 10 Years Accelerated Aging in Frail >55 years old HIV+ demonstrated by DNA methylation
4 - MACS men HAD Double the rate of falls compared to HIV-neg / >60 Years Old - 50% had a fall or more than 1 fall - in HIV-neg 20% of men 60-69 had a fall with 10% experiencing injury & 5% a fracture: increased risk with detectable viral load, efavirenz, neuropathy, fatigue, diabetes, poor balance/physical function, curbs, poor balance confidence
5.. structured exercise routines improved physical functioning
6 - "Invisible vs Visible" disabilities in older HIV+ - they had higher rates of "visible" disabilities meaning physical function decline was clear & greater after 60 years old
7- older HIV+ experiencing signs of premature muscle aging
8 - Canadian study found only 14% of older HIV+ were "aging well"
9 - 64% of HIV+ were lonely & social isolation a critical problem. Clearly many older HIV+ experience the cumulative affect of 20-30 years with HIV - physical & mental fatigue, cumulative stigma & self stigma having the affect of limited mobility & desire NOT to engage socially !
10- HIV+ WOMEN& Aging - women appear to age worse than men. Several studies report on this. Menopause in HIV+ occurs prematurely and has a greater negative affect on HIV+ women, they experience more adverse effects of menopause & at earlier ages.
11- In ACTG HAILO Cohort - 25% of HIV+ 60 years of age or older experienced a Fall or more, if they were FRAIL 50% experienced a Fall or more.
- In Spain/Italy Study - Older HIV+ women over 50 - they had WORSE Quality of Life & Worse Physical Function than older HIV+ Men: 42% of women vs 30% of men were exhausted at least 1-2 days a week. 40% of both men & women had sarcopenia. 25% of women & 16% of men reported moderate to severely bad quality of life. Comorbidity rates were reported & they were high & common.
- 63% Frail at 65 Years Old-Itlalian Study/NEW HIV Index+Protective Index / HIV-related and social frailty predictors and protectors in 1612-person Italian cohort - (09/19/18)
12- Cognitive Aging in HIV - Leah Rubin delivered plenary talk: WIHS mid-life age HIV+ women had double the mood disorders, associated with Post Traumatic Stress. The presence of comorbidities worsened the affect. METABOLIC SYNDROME associated with worse cognitive performance. 50% with HIV have cognitive impairment, despite viral suppression.
13; "Deprescribing" was a big discussion point at Workshop. Older HIV+ are given too many medications & some of which actually can cause cognitive impairment, many clinicians appear not to understand this & these drugs can increase risk for cognitive impairment, falls & fractures. so "deprescribing" needs to be considered.
The Impact of Number of Medications on Falls in Aging Persons Living with HIV - every increase in 1 medication increased risk by 10% for a fall - "50, the new 65?" - (09/17/18)
14 - 40% had fatty liver in HIV+
15 - 60% frailty, fractures & falls occur more often in HIV+ and intensifies in older aging HIV+ this will hasten mortality & disability, premature muscle aging, mood disorders, metabolic syndrome,
16 - 1000% increase in over 65 in HIV clinic, depression & comorbidities linked. dental care not even discussed: a hidden comorbidity; 17 - taking non-ARVs that might cause cognitive impairment in HIV+; polypharmacy linked with cognitive impairment - "deprescribing" suggested; fatty liver a new comorbidity for older aging HIV+; muscle mitochondria damage by old and contemporary nukes.
