Scientists probe why HIV makes exercise harder for seniors

NCT ID NCT04142047

Summary

This study aims to understand why older adults living with HIV often experience more muscle fatigue and difficulty exercising than their peers without HIV. Researchers will use leg muscle scans and blood tests to compare 200 participants aged 60+ with and without HIV. The goal is to identify the biological reasons behind exercise limitations that can lead to disability in older adults.
