Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the link between alcohol consumption and falls among people with HIV (PWH), highlighting that falls are a major health issue, especially for older adults and PWH.
- - Researchers categorized participants (315 PWH, mostly male, average age 52) into drinking levels (none, non-hazardous, hazardous) and analyzed the relationship between their drinking habits and fall incidents using various statistical methods.
- - Findings revealed that hazardous drinkers had a significantly higher risk of falls and recurrent falls compared to non-hazardous drinkers, but the amount of alcohol consumed daily in grams did not show a clear connection to fall risk.
Background: Low food security is common among people with HIV (PWH) and is associated with poorer health outcomes. Frailty, an aging-related outcome that is increasingly prevalent among PWH, may be stimulated by low food security. We assessed associations between food security and frailty among PWH.
