Abstract
ABSTRACT The role of cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) on physical health-related quality of life (P-HRQoL) and quality of sleep was examined among 261 PLWH ≥40 years, recruited from a university-affiliated HIV clinic in the Deep U.S. South. Using a cross-sectional study design, participants completed the Medical Outcomes Study HIV Health Survey (MOS-HIV; P-HRQoL) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The overall prevalence of self-reporting ≥1 CMD was 64.4%. P-HRQoL scores were lower in PLWH with ≥1 CMD compared with those with no CMDs (45.53 ± 11.54 vs. 49.67 ± 10.77, p <.01). Poor sleep quality was higher among participants with ≥1 CMD compared with those with no CMDs (9.28 ± 4.42 vs. 7.26 ± 4.17, p <.01). Each additional CMD resulted in a 1.83-point decrease in P-HRQoL and 0.74-point increase in poor sleep quality scores. Interventions that focus on targeting these quality-of-life domains in PLWH with CMDs are needed.

Abstract
The population of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is ageing and has an increasing burden of non-acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related morbidity and mortality, including frailty. Frailty is prevalent at a younger age in this population and is associated with multimorbidity, disability and death. This article examines the key interventions to ameliorate the advancement of frailty in people living with HIV. It explores methods of successfully delivering a multidisciplinary holistic approach to this complex patient group, using three case studies. The most effective frailty intervention is exercise. Group-based physiotherapy classes protect against functional decline and frailty symptomatology. Optimisation of medical and psychiatric comorbidities, including deprescribing when appropriate, is also essential. Addressing the social determinants of frailty, such as social isolation and loneliness, are beneficial, but are dependent on local charities and resources. More research is required to assess pharmacological and nutritional interventions in frailty. This requires a greater understanding of the exact pathophysiology of frailty, which remains poorly understood.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW While the characteristics associated with frailty in people with HIV (PWH) have been well described, little is known regarding interventions to slow or reverse frailty. Here we review interventions to prevent or treat frailty in the general population and in people with HIV (PWH). RECENT FINDINGS Frailty interventions have primarily relied on nonpharmacologic interventions (e.g., exercise and nutrition). Although few have addressed frailty, many of these therapies have shown benefit on components of frailty including gait speed, strength, and low activity among PWH. When nonpharmacologic interventions are insufficient, pharmacologic interventions may be necessary. Many interventions have been tested in preclinical models, but few have been tested or shown benefit among older adults with or without HIV. Ultimately, pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions have the potential to improve vulnerability that underlies frailty in PWH, though clinical data is currently sparse.

Abstract
Physical exercise is a common type of planned physical activity in order to enhance or maintain a person's physical fitness. Physical exercise may act as an effective strategy to take control of certain conditions associated with HIV-1 infection. HIV infection and its related treatments not only affect the immune system but also cause several musculoskeletal disorders including pre-sarcopenia or sarcopenia, myalgia, and low bone mineral density. Moderate- to high-intensity aerobic exercise, progressive resistance exercise, or a combination of both is considered as a complementary part of medical care and treatment of HIV-infected individuals. In the present chapter, the results of recent investigations regarding the effects of physical activity on muscle strength and function, mental health, and immune system of HIV infected individuals will be discussed.

Abstract
Advancements in antiretroviral therapy have extended the longevity of people living with HIV (PLWH). However, they often experience symptoms that negatively impact their quality of life, including fatigue, weight change, depression, pain, and memory loss. Although there is a dearth of data on the effect of physical activity (PA) for HIV-associated symptom management, increased PA has generally been associated with improvements in strength and overall quality of life. In this study, we enrolled 40 participants (mean age = 51.5; 40% female; 17.4 mean years living with HIV) and used Omron pedometers to measure daily step counts over 12 weeks. The 20-item HIV Symptom Index was administered at baseline and week 12. Increased PA was not associated with improvement in overall HIV symptom burden. However, bothersome symptoms were reduced, and total symptom burden was highly correlated with PA level at week 12 (r = -.48, p = .01), such that participants with higher step counts reported lower symptom burden. Significant gender differences in symptom burden were noted: males on average reported lower symptom burden. Further research is needed to examine associations between PA and HIV symptom burden and to further explore gender differences in HIV symptom burden to improve overall quality of life for all older PLWH.
