Frailty and health in older adults with HIV in West Africa
This study looks at how frailty (weakness) and other age-related health issues affect older adults living with HIV in West Africa. By comparing those with and without HIV, researchers hope to better understand the care needs of this group.

This study looks at frailty (feeling weak, having trouble with daily activities, or losing strength) in people age 50 and older who are living with HIV. It may help researchers understand frailty in HIV and how to better support older adults.
This study looks at what makes some people with HIV become “pre-frail” or frail as they get older. It uses questionnaires and other checks to understand challenges to healthy aging and may help improve future support and care.
This study looks at the overall health and well-being of adults 40 and older living with HIV, comparing them to HIV-negative adults of similar age. The goal is to understand the aging-related challenges and care needs in this group.
This study aims to help people with HIV between the ages of 65 and 75 stay healthy and avoid becoming frail as they age. It tests a program to prevent frailty and see if it works.
This trial studies how the bacteria in your gut (“microbiome”) relate to frailty (weakness/low physical resilience) in people with HIV who are stably doing well on treatment. It may help researchers understand why some people become frail and how the gut may play a role.
This study looks at frailty (a state of increased weakness and lower energy) and what factors are linked to it in older adults (60+) who are in the hospital. By joining, you help researchers better understand frailty, which could lead to better care for older patients.
