Frailty is more prevalent in HIV patients, influenced by age-related stress, chronic disease, stigma, and prolonged treatment.
-
2
The study identified cytokines and chemokines linked to frailty, regulated by NF-κB signaling, independent of comorbidities.
-
3
In frail HIV patients, exhausted T-cell subpopulations, marked by PD-1 and TIGIT, correlate with immune dysfunction and frailty.
-

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is associated with frailty and may play a role in immune checkpoint induction and bone health.

Further research is needed to clarify the role of immune senescence and its impact on frailty, aging, and therapeutic interventions.
