Despite suppressive anti-retroviral therapy (ART), some older people with HIV show adverse ageing phenotypes, and the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We recruited 30 men with HIV aged ≥ 50 years and 15 well-matched men without HIV and performed histological analyses on skeletal muscle biopsies and plasma biomarker measurement, in combination with clinical and functional assessments. Men with HIV showed higher frequencies of frailty, pre-frailty, sarcopenia, and pre-sarcopenia when compared to men without HIV.
