This study will: 1) describe the incidence, prevalence, and trends of frailty in people with and without HIV infection at Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC), 2) quantify the contribution of sociodemographic, behavioral, and comorbidity-related factors to frailty, and 3) evaluate the use of an electronic health record-based frailty index to predict frailty-related clinical events. This study will be conducted in an established KPNC cohort of people with HIV and matched uninfected comparators.
