This study adds self-reported cognitive complaints as a potential predictor of frailty in both sexes and supports the known deleterious effect of multimorbidity on frailty in adults living with HIV. Furthermore, it suggests that other possible predictors, such as depression, oral health status and adherence to ART, may be sex-specific.
