Key result
Greater volume of physical activity was associated with lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (P < .05) in older adults living with HIV.
Why the study?
Inflammation may contribute to cardiovascular diseases in older people living with HIV, but little is known about the association of physical activity with inflammatory and cardiovascular biomarkers.
Is physical activity and sedentary behavior associated with inflammatory and cardiovascular biomarkers in older adults living with HIV?
Population
101 older people living with HIV

Associations in this small observational sample are hypothesis-generating; larger prospective studies needed to clarify PA effects on biomarkers in OPWH.
Cohort (n=101)
Is physical activity and sedentary behavior associated with inflammatory and cardiovascular biomarkers in older adults living with HIV?
p-value: p=< .05
In older adults with HIV, greater physical activity is associated with improved blood pressure and inflammatory profiles, whereas sedentary behavior correlates with worse lipid and inflammatory markers.
Jones et al. (2023) conducted a cohort in HIV (n=101). Physical activity and sedentary behavior vs. Lower volume of physical activity / shorter duration of sitting was evaluated on Inflammatory and cardiovascular biomarkers (p=< .05). Greater volume of physical activity was associated with lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (P < .05) in older adults living with HIV.
