Association Between Physical Activity, Depression, and Diabetes in Urban-Dwelling People Living with HIV

Abstract: Physical activity (PA) may improve physical and mental health in people living with HIV (PLWH). However, the associations between PA participation and physical and mental health problems of PLWH in urban settings remain largely unknown. Our objective was to determine the relationships between PA and physical and mental health in urban-dwelling PLWH. There were 289 adult PLWH who responded to an electronic survey including questions on PA and current physical and mental health. The associations between physical… Show more

“…Additionally, PLWH taking ART have a lower heart rate variability (HRV) compared to the general population that could increase the risk of arrhythmias [ 32 ]. Exercise increases HRV (is associated with a better autonomic balance) in PLHW [ 33 ], by improving vagal tone to the heart and at the same time regulating sympathetic tone, that prevents against malignant arrhythmias [ 34 ]. Nevertheless, it is important to stress that high aerobic fitness in older adults could have a pro-arrhythmic effect [ 35 ].…”

“…Studies suggest that chronic fatigue among PLWH may be reduced by regular physical activity (Bergamaschi et al 2019;Webel et al 2016). As among the general population, physical activity programmes for PLWH have been associated with other health benefits such as lower anxiety and depression, improved physical capacities or higher quality of life (Quiles, Ciccolo, and Garber 2017;Voigt, Cho, and Schnall 2018). Yet despite increasing knowledge and beliefs about the benefits of physical activity, few studies have considered the experiences and views of physical activity by PLWH (Ferez et al 2014;Gray et al 2019), or their relations with the experience of physical symptoms or with exercise recommendations from health professionals.…”

“…In one of the largest studies of date conducted on over 25,000 HIV+ veterans, diagnosis of major depressive disorder predicted increased risk for heart failure after adjusting for non-HIV related confounders (White et al, 2015). It has also become evident that elevated rates of depression in PLWHA may contribute to cardiometabolic disease through an erosion in health behaviors such as physical activity (Quiles et al, 2017). Thus, the interactive effect of psychosocial factors and health behaviors may become a fruitful area of research to address the burden of disease comorbidity in older adults living with HIV/AIDS.…”
