What do the guidelines recommend for older patients? DHHS: >50 years: 1 Start ART regardless of CD4 because of increased risk of non- AIDS related complications and reduced immunological response Bone, kidney, metabolic, CV, and liver health of older HIV-infected adults should be monitored closely EACS: CVD risk assessment (Framingham score) should be performed in all men >40 and women >50 years 2 Bone disease assessment with FRAX in patients >40 years 2 BHIVA: Consideration should be given to starting at higher CD4 cell counts (i.e. 350 cells/mm 3 ) in older persons 4 CV=cardiovascular; FRAX=WHO Fracture Risk Assessment Tool IAS: Start ART if >60 years regardless of CD4 cell count 4 1.

Frailty recognition in clinical practice Frailty Related Phenotype Frailty as a deficit accumulation Fried et al., J Gerontol Med Sc 2001 Rockwood et al. Lancet 1999;353:205-6
Frailty recognition in clinical practice Frailty Related Phenotype A person can be said to be frail if they have any 3 of the following features: 1. They move slowly. 2. They have a weak handgrip. 3. They have reduced their level of activity. 4. They have (unintentionally) lost weight. 5. They feel exhausted. pre-frail is used when only one or two of these deficits is present. Clinically recognizable and not otherwise definable as being disabled or as having multiple co-morbid illnesses Frailty as a deficit accumulation Frailty can be operationalized as deficit accumulation and can be expressed in a frailty index. Can be summarised as a scale from Robust to Terminally Ill A frailty index derived from routinely collected clinical data can offer insights into the biology of aging using mathematics of complex systems.

Aging, as a health condition FRAILTY Multimorbidity Disability
A novel frailty index predicting outcomes in HIV patients We constructed an HIV frailty index (MMFI) based on routine health variables. OBJ: We hypothesized the HIVFI could predict multimorbidity at any age and HIV characteristics and discriminate between pts in the same age category with different multimorbidity (MM) risk. Methods: retrospective longitudinal study enrolling pts with 2 annual visits Results: Mortality Study: 2739 pts, 55 deaths, 11072 PYFU, mortality rate 4.97/1000 PYFU MM Study : 2241 pts, 341 events, 7682 PYFU, Incident Rate (IR) 44.39/1000 PYFU

Waist 8. Visceral adipose tissue 9. Sarcopenia 10. Low bone mineral density 11. Insulin resistance 12. Total cholesterol 13. LDL 14. HDL 15. TG 16. HCY 17. WBC 18. HB 19. Fib4 20. HCV+ 21. HBsAg+ 22.

Co-morbidities (MM= 2+) 1. CVD (clinical) 2. HTN (measured + drug) 3. T2DM (measured + drug) 4. CKD (measured) 5. Cirrosi (clinical) 6. COPD (measured + clinical) 7. Osteoporosi (DEXA + fracture) 8.

ARV therapy in aging patients Initiate ART in patients > 50 years regardless of CD4 count Regimen choice should be informed by review of co-morbidities, multimorbidity and polyfarmacy Data on the long-term safety of certain ARVs in older people are lacking Monitor for ART-related renal, liver, CV, metabolic, and bone toxicities 1.

Hypothetical future Scenario: will frailty improve clinical care and outcomes? Initiate ART in patients > 50 years regardless of CD4 count Regimen choice should be informed by review of FRAILTY, co-morbidities, multimorbidity and polyfarmacy Data on the long-term safety of certain ARVs in older people WILL BE MEASURED WITH FRAILTY INDEX Monitor for ART-related renal, liver, CV, metabolic, bone toxicities AND FRAILTY INDEX 1.
