Aging is a complicated process characterized by a progressive loss of homeostasis, which results in an increased vulnerability to multiple diseases. HIV-1-infected patients demonstrate a premature aging phenotype and develop certain age-related diseases earlier in their lifespan than what is seen in the general population. Age-related comorbidities may include the development of bone disease, metabolic disorders, neurologic impairment and immunosenescence. Age also appears to have an effect on traditional markers of HIV-1 disease progression, including CD4 T-cell count and viral load. These effects are not only a consequence of HIV-1 infection, but in many cases, are also linked to antiretroviral therapy. This review summarizes the complex interplay between HIV-1 infection and aging, and the impact that aging has on markers of HIV-1 disease.
衰老过程复杂,其特征是体内稳态逐渐丧失,这会导致机体对多种疾病的易感性增加。感染HIV-1的患者表现出早衰的表型,并且在其寿命中比普通人群更早地患上某些与年龄相关的疾病。与年龄相关的合并症可能包括骨病、代谢紊乱、神经功能障碍和免疫衰老。年龄似乎也会对HIV-1疾病进展的传统指标产生影响,包括CD4 T细胞计数和病毒载量。这些影响不仅是HIV-1感染的结果,而且在许多情况下还与抗逆转录病毒疗法有关。本综述总结了HIV-1感染与衰老之间的复杂相互作用,以及衰老对HIV-1疾病指标的影响。
