{"doi":"10.52504/001c.74744","title":"Association Between Physical Activity and Psychosocial Resilience Among Middle-Aged and Aging Men Living With or Without HIV in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study","abstract":"Introduction Increased resilience has been consistently linked to improved mental and physical health outcomes. Because individuals with HIV have a longer life expectancy than ever before, it is imperative to identify mechanisms to promote resilience in this population. Physical activity has significant potential to strengthen resilience and improve overall well-being in individuals with HIV. The goal of this study was to investigate whether increased physical activity is positively associated with increased individual-level psychosocial resilience, and whether this association varied by HIV status. Methods Data for this analysis were obtained from the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS), a longitudinal observational cohort study following men living with and without HIV in the United States. Specifically, cross-sectional data collected between October 2016 and March 2017 from 1118 MACS participants enrolled in the Understanding Patterns of Healthy Aging Among Men Who Have Sex With Men sub-study were used. Odds ratios were determined using logistic regression to examine the association of physical activity with psychosocial resilience (measured using the 14-item Resilience Scale). Results Among all MACS participants enrolled in the sub-study, both sufficient physical activity and health-enhancing physical activity were positively associated with high resiliency (odds ratio, 2.20 [95% CI, 1.36-3.56] and odds ratio, 3.72 [95% CI, 2.30-6.03], respectively). Among the participants with HIV, only health-enhancing physical activity was positively associated with high resiliency (odds ratio, 3.07 [95% CI, 1.54-6.14]). Conclusions At the level of individual patient care, physical activity has significant potential to improve health outcomes and strengthen resilience in individuals living with HIV.","journal":"Georgetown Medical Review","year":2023,"id":407079,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":0,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9478,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2023-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":404157,"name":"Deanna Ware","orcid":"0000-0001-5923-1864","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":404159,"name":"Michael Plankey","orcid":"0000-0003-4554-7483","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1186256,"name":"Liddy Kasraian","orcid":null,"position":0,"is_corresponding":true}],"reference_count":22,"raw_metadata":null,"created_at":"2026-07-19T01:21:07.213041Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
