| Abstract | Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) prevalence is increasing among aging HIV-infected individuals. We determined the association between COPD and self-reported measures of frailty (adapted frailty-related phenotype (aFRP)) and physical limitation (PL), and a clinical biomarker of physiologic frailty (VACS Index) in HIV-infected compared with uninfected individuals. |
