People with HIV (PWH) are susceptible to neurocognitive, physical, and mental health problems that may decrease their likelihood of experiencing successful aging. This cross-sectional, retrospective study estimated the extent to which health literacy is associated with successful aging among 116 older PWH and 60 persons without HIV. Successful aging was defined using indicators of biological health, cognitive efficiency, mental health, and productivity. Health literacy was measured using the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine, Newest Vital Sign, Brief Health Literacy Screening, and Beliefs Related to Medication Adherence. A series of logistic regressions covarying for education showed that better health literacy was associated with a higher frequency of successful aging among older PWH. Older PWH were approximately three times less likely to experience successful aging as compared to older adults without HIV. Future studies may examine whether improving health literacy among younger PWH increases the likelihood of successful aging.
HIV 感染者（PWH）易出现神经认知、身体和心理健康问题，这可能降低他们成功老龄化的可能性。本横断面回顾性研究估计了健康素养与 116 名老年 HIV 感染者和 60 名非 HIV 感染者成功老龄化之间的关联程度。成功老龄化通过生物学健康、认知效率、心理健康和生产力的指标来定义。健康素养使用成人医学快速评估识字率、最新生命体征、简短健康素养筛查和与药物依从性相关的信念来衡量。一系列协方差教育的逻辑回归表明，健康素养更好与老年 HIV 感染者更高的成功老龄化频率相关。与没有 HIV 的老年人相比，老年 HIV 感染者成功老龄化的可能性大约低三倍。未来的研究可能会检验在年轻的 HIV 感染者中提高健康素养是否会增加他们成功老龄化的可能性。
