TL;DR: The prevalence of Pp in HIV-infected persons anticipated Pp prevalence observed in the general population among persons who were 10 years older, and HIV-specific cofactors (lower nadir CD4 cell count and more prolonged ART exposure) were identified as risk factors.

TL;DR: Patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease diagnosed by either serum liver enzymes (aminotransferases or gamma‐glutamyltransferase [GGT]) or ultrasonography are gauged for the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

TL;DR: NAFLD is common among HIV-infected persons who have the traditional risk factors for NAFLD (elevations in serum alanine level, male sex, and increased waist circumference), and exposure to nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors was an independent risk factor.

TL;DR: Among people aging with HIV in northern Italy, a frailty index based on deficit accumulation predicted survival and incident multimorbidity independently of HIV-related and behavioral risk factors.

TL;DR: Increased vascular age is frequent among HIV-infected patients and appears to be associated with CD4+ cell count, and a positive response to ART with an increase in CD4- cell count may become a marker of increased risk of atherosclerosis development.
