“…A questionnaire with demographic and socioeconomic questions, time of diagnosis, use of medication, physical activity, frequency and perception of diet and sleep quality, use of alcoholic beverages and illicit drugs, was used. The following were assessed: functions for basic cognitive screening (Mini Mental State Examination; Bertolucci et al, 1994), problem solving and processing speed (Non-verbal Test of General Intelligence Beta -III; Rabelo et al, 2017), attention (Five Digits Test;De Paula et al, 2017) and visual perception, planning and visual memory (Rey Complex Figures;Oliveira et al, 2004).

The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) and symptoms of anxiety and depression in HIV+ Brazilian elderly on antiretroviral treatments. The study included 112 HIV+ elderly who completed a questionnaire, tests for cognitive screening, attention, problem solving, processing speed, visual perception, memory, and anxiety and depression scales. The results showed presence of HAND (89.3%), pathological anxiety (48.2%) and depression (58%) in the sample. Higher income was a protective factor for HAND (OR = 0.33). Waking up well-rested (OR = 0.63) and better diet quality (OR = 0.62) reduced the chance of pathological anxiety. Higher education (OR = 0.74) and waking up well-rested (OR = 0.61) reduced the chance of depression. Being female (OR = 7.73) increased the chance of depression. It can be concluded that it is important to evaluate cognitive and emotional aspects of HIV+ elders and to consider social and educational status, diet, and sleep in interventions, paying special attention to elderly women.
