Impact of Body Mass Index and VO2 Max on Symptoms, Physical Activity, and Physical Function in a Multinational Sample of People with HIV
Open AccessChristine Horvat Davey, Deepesh Duwadi et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2024
People with HIV (PWH) are at increased risk for metabolic disorders affecting body mass index (BMI), chronic symptoms, and impaired physical function and capacity. Although physical activity improves health and well-being, PWH often do not meet activity recommendations necessary to achieve these benefits. Despite the known impact of symptoms, physical activity, and physical function on health, little is known about the relationships and interacti…

Team-Based Qualitative Rapid Analysis
Open AccessJulie Schexnayder, Kathleen R Perry et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2023Citada por: 4Referências: 35
Qualitative rapid analysis is one of many rapid research approaches that offer a solution to the problem of time constrained health services evaluations and avoids sacrificing the richness of qualitative data that is needed for intervention design. We describe modifications to an established team-based, rapid analysis approach that we used to rapidly collect and analyze semi-structured interview data for a developmental formative evaluation of a …

Our primary predictor variable was social media use. Our primary outcome was BMI measured through height and weight. Descriptive statistics…
Sleep and immune function among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
Monique S Balthazar, Allison R Webel et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2021
People living with HIV are at increased risk for sleep disturbances. Up to 75% of the HIV-infected individuals in the United States experience sleep disturbances of some kind. Previous studies have suggested an association between patient-reported sleep disturbances and impaired immune function. This study evaluates data obtained via sleep actigraphy to evaluate the relationship between objectively measured sleep, HIV viral load, and immune funct…
The relationship of cardiorespiratory function, fatigue and depressive symptoms in PLHIV
Christine Horvat Davey, Joseph Perazzo et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2020
Fatigue and depressive symptoms are prevalent and associated with poor clinical outcomes, though the underlying physiological mechanisms of fatigue and depression are poorly understood. We examined the impact of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) on fatigue and depressive symptoms in one-hundred and nine PLHIV. CRF was examined by maximal cardiorespiratory stress test and determined by peak oxygen uptake. Patient-reported fatigue was examined utiliz…

People living with HIV (PLWH) have increasingly longer life spans. This age group faces different challenges than younger PLWH, which may include increased stress and social isolation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the age and sex of PLWH are associated with measures of physiologic stress, perceived stress, and social isolation. In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled 102 PLWH equally into four groups divided by age (young…
Appreciating Reasons for Nonadherence in Women
Jennifer G Okonsky, Allison R Webel et al.ARTICLEHealth Care For Women International2014
Women aged 15-24 years have an HIV infection rate twice that of men the same age. In this study we examined reasons why HIV-infected women taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) report missing HIV medications. Women (N = 206) on ART were 2.2 times more likely to endorse reasons pertaining to forgetfulness versus reasons pertaining to problems taking pills (OR = 2.2, 95% CI = 1.63, 2.94, p <.001). There was a difference between the adherent and nonad…
