We performed a cross-sectional analysis of factors associated with negative body image among 550 older men with or at-risk for HIV infection, including demographics, depression, illicit drug use, and antiretroviral therapy adherence. Overall, 31 per cent of participants reported negative body image, which was independently associated with increased BMI, self-rated fair/poor health, depression, and erectile dysfunction, but not HIV status. Screening for and treating depression, sexual dysfunction, and obesity in older men should be considered.
我们对550名感染艾滋病毒或有感染风险的老年男性中与负面身体形象相关的因素进行了横断面分析，这些因素包括人口统计学特征、抑郁、非法药物使用以及抗逆转录病毒疗法的依从性。总体而言，31%的参与者报告有负面身体形象，这与体重指数增加、自我评定健康状况为一般/较差、抑郁以及勃起功能障碍独立相关，但与艾滋病毒感染状况无关。应考虑对老年男性进行抑郁、性功能障碍和肥胖的筛查及治疗。
