“…In this study, older people are categorised as younger old (50–64), young old (65–74 years), old old (75–84 years), and the oldest old (85 years and above) [ 20 ]. Data utilised in this study were acquired from the WHO SAGE Well-Being of Older People Study (WOPS).…”

“…These were population-based HIV surveys conducted in South Africa between 2010 (Wave 1) and 2013 (Wave 2) in collaboration with the Africa Centre Demographic Information System (ACDIS) [ 21 ]. The SAGE WOPS study gathers comparable longitudinal data on a variety of health, demographic, and social markers that are relevant to the health and functional status of older persons who are HIV-positive or have HIV/AIDS in their family [ 20 ]. In addition, the survey looked at the respondents’ nutritional status, and HIV treatment.…”

“…In addition, the survey looked at the respondents’ nutritional status, and HIV treatment. Concerning the sampling method, the survey's sample was divided into five groups [ 20 ]. At the onset of Wave 1 of the project in 2010, the sample for Group 1 consisted of adults who had been receiving HIV therapy for at least a year.…”

“…Group 4 was made up of elderly people who had experienced an HIV-related death of an adult household member in 2010. The aged who were not receiving HIV therapy or had only received it for three months or fewer in 2013 during Wave 2 were included in Group 5 [ 20 ]. The sampling methodology is described in detail elsewhere [ 22 , 23 ].…”

Prevalence and factors associated with hypertension among older people living with HIV in South Africa

et al. 2022

Background People living with HIV (PLHIV) are experiencing increased life expectancy mostly due to the success of anti-retroviral therapy. Consequently, they face the threat of chronic diseases attributed to ageing including hypertension. The risk of hypertension among PLHIV requires research attention particularly in South Africa where the prevalence of HIV is highest in Africa. We therefore examined the prevalence and factors associated with hypertension among older people living with HIV in South Africa. Methods We analysed cross-sectional data on 514 older PLHIV. Data were extracted from the WHO SAGE Well-Being of Older People Study (WOPS) (2011–2013). The outcome variable was hypertension status. Data was analysed using STATA Version 14. Chi-square and binary logistic regression were performed. The results were presented in odds ratio with its corresponding confidence interval. Results The prevalence of hypertension among PLHIV was 50.1%. Compared to PLHIV aged 50–59, those aged 60–69 [OR = 2.2; CI = 1.30,3.84], 70–79 years [OR = 2.8; CI = 1.37,5.82], and 80 + [OR = 4.9; CI = 1.68,14.05] had higher risk of hypertension. Females were more likely [OR = 5.5; CI = 2.67,11.12] than males to have hypertension. Persons ever diagnosed with stroke were more likely [OR = 3.3; CI = 1.04,10.65] to have hypertension when compared to their counterparts who have never been diagnosed with stroke. Compared to PLHIV who had no clinic visits, those who visited the clinic three to six times [OR = 5.3; CI = 1.35,21.01], or more than six times [OR = 5.5; CI = 1.41,21.41] were more likely to have hypertension. Conclusion More than half of South African older PLHIV are hypertensive. The factors associated with hypertension among older PLHIV are age, sex, ever diagnosed with stroke and number of times visited the clinic. Integration of hypertension management and advocacy in HIV care is urgently needed in South Africa in order to accelerate reductions in the prevalence of hypertension among older PLHIV, as well as enhance South Africa’s capacity to attain the Sustainable Development Goal target 3.3.

“…Masa et al ( 2018 ) concluded that the diets of older PLWH were mostly carbohydrates and this was based on socio-economic factors and the staple food available. In South Africa, Oduro and Kissah-Korsah ( 2021 ) describe a more diverse diet among older PLWH and conclude that 38.9% of older PLWH had at least three servings of fruit and vegetables with most considering their diet as good.…”

Background People living with HIV (PLWH) are ageing, and face increased risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes. Physical activity and diet are effective in reducing Type 2 Diabetes risk. However, there is variation in how older PLWH engage in physical activity and healthy eating. Aim To describe older PLWHs’ engagement in physical activity and diet for Type 2 Diabetes risk reduction in Harare Setting The study was conducted in five polyclinics in Harare urban district from low socio-economic areas. Methods A qualitative approach and an exploratory descriptive design was used. Twenty-three participants were selected purposively based on the researchers’ judgement of age among PLWH. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview schedule and analysed using Braun and Clark’s six steps of thematic content analysis. Ethical approval was obtained, and each participant provided informed consent. Results The mean age of participants was 62 years. Participants performed varied physical activities through; economic activities, walking, exercise, and domestic chores. Diet included indigenous, unrefined grains, vegetables and fruit, influenced by rural background. Diet consisted of larger proportions of carbohydrates with lesser varying portions of protein and vegetables and fruit. Healthy eating among participants was facilitated by the proximity of markets and family. Conclusion Health education to reduce Type 2 Diabetes risk should focus on fostering current physical activities to meet prescribed standards and increasing fruit and vegetable consumption. Contribution The physical activity and diet self-care practices among older PLWH are inadequate in reducing Type 2 Diabetes risk, emphasising the need for appropriate health education.
