Résumé

La comparaison de deux indicateurs du vieillissement (déminéralisation osseuse et syndrome de fragilité) entre les patients de la cohorte ANRS et des sujets de la population générale de même âge et sexe a montré que les patients avaient une densité minérale osseuse légèrement plus faible. Par contre, la fréquence du syndrome de fragilité (reflétant l’état général et la condition physique) est similaire à la population générale.

Abstract

This study compares two indicators of aging (bone loss and frailty syndrome) between patients of the cohort and age- and sex-matched subjects from the general population in Dakar. It shows that patients had a lower mineral bone density. By contrast, the prevalence of frailty (an indicator of general health status and physical condition) among patients was similar to the general population.
