Brief summary
MATCH is an observation study of HIV-infected adults on effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) and demographically matched uninfected adults to evaluate muscle and aging.
Detailed description
MATCH is a non-randomized observational longitudinal study. We will recruit HIV infected adults (50 to 65 years old) and demographically matched uninfected control subjects to be followed for 4 years over the course of a 5 year study. The targeted age range of 50-65 is chosen to evaluate aging HIV infected individuals at risk for early frailty in the United States. All subjects will undergo blood draws and physical function assessment, and a subset will undergo a CT scan of muscle and will have a muscle biopsy taken. A substudy will be performed on a subgroup of HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected men from the main cohort to measure daily physical activity by using an activity tracker.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Group 1: HIV positive subjects * HIV positive * English speaking * 50-65 years old * On Antiretroviral therapy and an HIV viral load below 200 copies/ml * CD4 equal to or greater than 350 cells/mm3 * Postmenopausal (women) * Lower extremity mobility sufficient to participate in functional assessment. Group 2: HIV negative subjects Inclusion Criteria for Group 2 subjects * English speaking * 50-65 years old * Negative for HIV (based on an HIV antibody test at Study Visit 1) * Matched to Group 1 for sex (50% W, 50% M) and age (50 - 65yo) * Postmenopausal (women) * Lower extremity mobility sufficient to participate in functional assessment.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Inflammation at baseline and 3 years | 3 years | Inflammation at baseline and yearly for 3 years will be assessed by measuring circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines (e.g., CRP, IL6) and soluble monocyte/macrophage biomarkers (e.g., sCD14, sC163). These multiple measurements will be aggregated to arrive at one composite inflammatory score. Outcome will be assessed in association with HIV status and physical function. |
