Summary

This study tested a program called HOLA (Happy Older Latinos are Active) in 30 Latino adults aged 50+ living with HIV. The program included one-on-one sessions with a community health worker, group walks three times a week, and planning pleasant activities. The goal was to see if this approach could help prevent cognitive decline and was practical for participants to complete.

Active substance

Happy Older Latinos are Active (HOLA) program

What this could lead to

If successful, this program could offer a practical, community-based way to help older Latino adults with HIV maintain their memory and thinking skills.

What could go wrong

This was a small, early feasibility study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to larger or more diverse groups. The program requires regular group walks and one-on-one sessions, which may be hard to sustain long-term.
