We aimed to identify the most effective tests from an extensive CGA to develop a short CGA. Methods: This observational, cross-sectional, and analytical study was conducted in three phases: (1) describing PWH aged \u2265 50 and matched controls; (2) jointly analyzing data to identify the most effective tests from the original CGA and develop a short version; and (3) applying the short CGA separately to both groups. Results: The most effective tests\u2014the Lawton scale, SPPB, Barber questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Cognitive Complaints questionnaire\u2014were used to create a short CGA. It identified abnormalities in 77% of PWH flagged by the full CGA, though 65% with the normal short CGA results had at least one abnormal result in the full version. Most false negatives were due to the excluded Hearing-Dependent Activities scale. Conclusions: These findings represent an initial step toward developing a short CGA for an easy and rapid identification of PWH aged \u2265 50, beyond a frailty assessment, who may benefit from early clinical management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v17070887","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,24]],"date-time":"2025-06-24T10:44:41Z","timestamp":1750761881000},"page":"887","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Short Assessment for People with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Aged 50 Years or Older: Essential Tests from Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4075-0346","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jordi","family":"Puig","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fundaci\u00f3 Lluita Contra Les Infeccions, Department of Infectious Diseases, Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol, Germans Trias i Pujol, 08916 Badalona, Spain"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"NURECARE Research Group, Institut d\u2019Investigaci\u00f3 i Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol (IGTP), 08916 Badalona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pau","family":"Satorra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biostatistics Support and Research Unit Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute and Hospital (IGTP), 08916 Badalona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fundaci\u00f3 Lluita Contra Les Infeccions, Department of Infectious Diseases, Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol, Germans Trias i Pujol, 08916 Badalona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sandra","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fundaci\u00f3 Lluita Contra Les Infeccions, Department of Infectious Diseases, Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol, Germans Trias i Pujol, 08916 Badalona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"G\u00fcerri-Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital del Mar, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Medicine and Life Sciences Department, (MELIS), University Pompeu Fabra, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Itziar","family":"Arrieta-Aldea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital del Mar, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-7531-2250","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabel","family":"Arnau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital del Mar, 08003 Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3586-4525","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Prats","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fundaci\u00f3 Lluita Contra Les Infeccions, Department of Infectious Diseases, Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol, Germans Trias i Pujol, 08916 Badalona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vira","family":"Buhiichyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fundaci\u00f3 Lluita Contra Les Infeccions, Department of Infectious Diseases, Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol, Germans Trias i Pujol, 08916 Badalona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cristian","family":"Tebe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biostatistics Support and Research Unit Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute and Hospital (IGTP), 08916 Badalona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eugenia","family":"Negredo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fundaci\u00f3 Lluita Contra Les Infeccions, Department of Infectious Diseases, Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol, Germans Trias i Pujol, 08916 Badalona, Spain"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Barcelona, Spain"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Universitat de Vic\u2014UCC, 08500 Vic, Spain"},{"name":"CIBERINFEC, Institute of Health Carlos III (ISCIII), 28029 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2024, May 22).
