What this trial studies
This interventional study aims to assess the impact of physical activity on functional limitations and disabilities in adults aged 40 and older living with HIV in Côte d'Ivoire. It combines quantitative evaluations, including cognitive and functional assessments, with qualitative interviews to explore cultural perceptions of physical activity. The study will involve 300 participants living with HIV and a reference group of 150 adults without HIV, all from the Abobo district of Abidjan. The goal is to document the frequency and nature of HIV-related disabilities and to understand factors influencing physical activity engagement.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 40 and older who are living with HIV and have been on antiretroviral therapy for at least 12 months.
Not a fit: Patients with HIV-2 type only or those with acute infections or life-threatening conditions may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could enhance the quality of life and functional abilities of older adults living with HIV.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown positive outcomes in improving physical activity among older adults with chronic conditions, suggesting potential success for this approach.
