Facilitators and barriers to physical activity in middle-aged and older adult(s) HIV infected persons: a systematic review of qualitative studies.
Research on barriers to exercise in older adults with HIV identifies practical leverage points for improving heart health and managing multiple chronic conditions simultaneously.
This systematic review of qualitative studies identifies the multilevel barriers and facilitators to physical activity in the growing population of older adults living with HIV, an increasingly aging and high-comorbidity patient group. Findings have implications for cardiometabolic health interventions in older HIV-positive individuals.
