Abstract
Frailty syndrome, caused by degenerative changes in the body and the body vulnerability due to a variety of chronic diseases, is associated with adverse outcomes, such as fall, disability and mortality. With the development of antiretroviral therapy, the average life span of HIV/AIDS patients is extended, the number of elderly living with HIV/AIDS has increased, resulting the increase of the incidence of frailty syndrome in this population. The incidence of frailty syndrome in the elderly is associated with HIV infection and adverse reaction of antiretroviral therapy. Early assessment and intervention of frailty syndrome in elderly HIV/AIDS patients can reduce adverse clinical events and improve the quality of life.
