Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease associated with a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons, clinically characterized by motor and non-motor signs. Frailty is a clinical condition of increased vulnerability and negative health outcomes due to the loss of multiple physiological reserves. Chronic hyperglycemia and insulin resistance, which characterize diabetes mellitus (DM), have been reported to alter dopaminergic activity, increase the risk of PD, and influence the development of frailty. Even though diabetes may facilitate the development of frailty in patients with PD, this relationship is not established and a revision of the current knowledge is necessary. Furthermore, the synergy between DM, PD, and frailty may drive clinical complexity, worse outcomes, and under-representation of these populations in the research. In this review, we aimed to discuss the role of diabetes in the development of frailty among patients with PD. We summarized the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with concomitant DM, PD, and frailty. Finally, interventions to prevent frailty in this population are discussed.

Development and Validation of a Risk Prediction Model for Cognitive Frailty in Elderly Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
J Clin Nurs

Department of Nursing, Jinzhou Medical University, Jinzhou, Liaoning, China.
Aims: This study aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model for cognitive frailty in elderly patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Design: A cross-sectional design.
Methods: From February to November 2023, a convenience sample of 430 older adults with T2DM was enrolled at a tertiary hospital in Jinzhou.
Disparities in dolutegravir utilisation in children, adolescents and young adults (0-24 years) living with HIV. An analysis of the IeDEA Pediatric West African cohort.

Introduction: We describe the 24-month incidence of Dolutegravir (DTG)-containing antiretroviral treatment (ART) initiation since its introduction in 2019 in West Africa.
Methods: We included all patients aged 0-24 years on ART from nine clinics in Côte d'Ivoire (n=4), Ghana, Nigeria, Mali, Benin, and Burkina Faso. Baseline varied by clinic and was defined as date of first DTG prescription; patients were followed up until database closure/death/loss to follow-up (LTFU, no visit ≥7 months), whichever came first.
Introduction: Physical Activity (PA) and its links to frailty, quality of life (QoL), and other comorbidities in older Ugandans living with HIV remain under-explored.
Methods: We analyzed data from three annual assessments of older people living with HIV (PLWH) and age- and sex-similar people not living with HIV (PnLWH). We fitted linear generalized estimating equations (GEE) regression models to estimate the correlates of PA, including demographics, frailty, QoL, HIV, and other comorbidities.
The Relationships between Subjective Wellbeing and Frailty: Staying with a Positive Mind, Stepping away from Accelerated Aging.

Background: Subjective wellbeing (SWB) is a crucial measure of life quality in older adults. Understanding its relationship with frailty may inform strategies to promote healthy aging.
Methods: We analyzed data for older adults aged ≥ 60 years old from Waves 3 and 4 of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.
Frailism: a scoping review exploring discrimination against people living with frailty.

People living with frailty can experience discrimination, but unlike the characteristics of age and disability, frailty is not protected by law. Frailty is a clinical syndrome associated with ageing in which health deficits increase a person's vulnerability to illness, disability, and death. This scoping review, conducted by a team of methodologists, clinicians, lawyers, and patients, aimed to investigate the extent of discrimination against people living with frailty described in health-care literature.
