Publication Abstract Display | Type: Poster | Title: Higher Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) index scores are associated with concurrent risk of neurocognitive impairment. | Authors: Marquine M, Moore DJ, Gouaux B, Rooney A, Woods SP, Lentendre SL, Ellis RJ, Grant I, and the HNRP Group | Date: 11-06-2012 | Abstract:§ Findings suggest that older HIV-infected persons
report lower levels of resilience as compared to
older HIV-uninfected persons
§ Lower levels of resilience among older HIV infected individuals were associated with greater
levels of IADL dependence
§ Given that HIV disease characteristics were
comparable between the IADL dependent and
independent groups, resilience may be an
important determinant of daily functioning above
and beyond HIV disease severity
§ More fully powered studies are needed to examine
the association between resilience and daily
functioning outcomes in the older HIV-infected
population. |
