Redefining Aging in HIV Infection Using Phenotypes

Abstract: Purpose of reviewThis article critically reviews the utility of “phenotypes” as behavioral descriptors in aging/HIV research that inform biological underpinnings and treatment development. We adopt a phenotypic redefinition of aging conceptualized within a broader context of HIV infection and of aging. Phenotypes are defined as dimensions of behavior, closely related to fundamental mechanisms, and, thus, may be more informative than chronological age. Primary emphasis in this review is given to comorbid aging … Show more

“…Our findings contribute to the literature on sex-based differences with HIV infection and aging-related comorbidities or phenotype development in aging populations of PLWH. Moreover, cohort studies report that females are better controllers of HIV, although the mechanisms have been unclear [9,11,36]. Sex-specific mechanisms of protection must also be explored in future studies as females generally demonstrate phenotypes of viral control [37].…”

“…The presence of multiple comorbidities, observed in HIV, include characteristics of aging-associated phenotypes such as disability and frailty [6]. However, phenotypes are studied far more in the aging field, which is not specific to HIV [7-9]. Poor health outcomes such as disability and frailty increase the risk of poor functional status, which complicates access to care and disrupts disease self-management, resulting in increased medical resource utilization [9].…”

“…The National HIV/AIDS Strategy identified the pressing need to facilitate successful aging of PLWH [5]. As those with long-standing HIV infection age, comorbidities are becoming increasingly common [16, 24]. To support successful aging, it is essential to improve our understanding of the contribution of HIV infection to the presence of comorbidities and associated clinical outcomes.…”

“…Aging phenotype development has improved the understanding of physical and cognitive decline in populations of aging adults with multiple comorbidities [16]. Several positive aging phenotypes are characterized (e.g., physical and social functioning) to allow investigators to study avenues for healthier aging outcomes [17].…”
