Kristine M. Erlandson,Kunling Wu,Susan L. Koletar,Robert C. Kalayjian,Ronald J. Ellis,Babafemi Taiwo,Frank J. Palella,Katherine Tassiopoulos +7 more
TL;DR: Frailty was associated with lower education, older age, Medicare/Medicaid, initial efavirenz, smoking, obesity, and neurocognitive impairment; physical activity and alcohol use were protective and associations between frailty and modifiable factors provide targets for future interventions.
