ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Studies examining the sociodemographic characteristics associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated dementia (HAD) are lacking, especially in the southern United States. The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of HAD using South Carolina Alzheimer's Disease Registry data, and examine these characteristics across two time periods.METHODS:
Data were obtained from the population-based, South Carolina Alzheimer's Disease Registry from 2000-2006 and 2010-2016 (N = 165,487). Crude and multivariable logistic regression models were applied to determine sociodemographic characteristics associated with HAD by time period.RESULTS:
Younger, Black, Other, men, and urban populations had greater odds of being diagnosed as having HAD in both time periods. For example, compared with individuals aged 85 years and older, individuals aged 18 to 34 had 97 times the odds (adjusted odds ratio 97.0; 95% confidence interval 31.6-297.8) of being diagnosed as having HAD. In 2010-2016, however, nursing facility populations had a greater odds of being diagnosed as having HAD.CONCLUSIONS:
We found that younger populations (younger than 74 years), communities of color, men, urban populations, and nursing facility populations were more likely to have HAD. Future research should focus on the association between HAD and risk for Alzheimer's disease.
