Prevalence and overlap of frailty, geriatric syndromes, and comorbidity in older adults with HIV. a Frailty vs non-frailty. b Frailty/prefrailty vs robust. Frailty and prefrailty defined according to Frailty Phenotype. Geriatric Syndromes were considered when the patient had at least one of the following: falls, cognitive impairment, depression, and risk of malnutrition. Falls considered whether the patient had at least one fall in the last year. Cognitive impairment defined as MOCA test score < 20 points. Depression defined as SF-GDS score ≥ 6 points. Risk of malnutrition defined as MNA-SF score < 11 points. Comorbidities were recorded due to self-reported, physician-diagnosed chronic conditions: hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease, stroke, COPD, chronic kidney disease, cancer (< 5 years from the diagnosis), history of cancer (≥ 5 years from the diagnosis; not active disease), psychiatric disorders, and osteoarticular disease
