Abstract
AbstractBackgroundPremature aging has been identified as a global risk factor for cancer. Causes of premature aging are multifactorial, including inflammation, infection, chronic stress, and lifestyle factors.MethodWe evaluated whether premature aging in people living with HIV (PLWH) was associated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) or the diagnosis of cancer. We used well‐established DNA methylation patterns to assess premature aging, using Horvath et al., in individuals with HIV located in Cleveland, Ohio and compared these to standardized datasets of US historical blood samples. Some of the PLWH developed cancer over time.ResultsWe found that DNA methylation analysis identified accelerated aging in PLWH whereas ART therapy mitigated the advancement of DNA methylation age. A variety of cancers were observed in this population, but a cancer diagnosis was not significantly associated with more advanced DNA methylation age.ConclusionWe find that the age acceleration detected in PLWH is mitigated by ART therapy and is not further accelerated by a diagnosis of cancer.
