Cognitive and mental health significantly contribute to disability in people ageing with HIV in Asia: an observational case‐control study
PLWH in Asia had a higher burden of disability as compared with matched controls. The effect of living with HIV on disability was mediated by social isolation, mental health disorders and impaired cognition. Future work should be directed to developing interventions that mitigate these conditions with the goal of reducing disability among PLWH.
