ObjectivesPeople with HIV have high levels of multimorbidity, but studies often focus on high-risk comorbidities such as hypertension or coronary artery disease. We examined both high-risk and functional comorbidities in an ethnically diverse clinic population to compare the prevalence of comorbidities and different patterns of multimorbidity.DesignRetrospective cross-sectional study.SettingUniversity-based primary care HIV clinic with two locations in New York City.ParticipantsPatients who had been seen by a physician at least once between 1 June 2016 and 31 May 2017.Primary and secondary outcome measuresData regarding demographics, diagnoses and lab values were downloaded in a one-time data import from the electronic medical record. Comorbidities were classified as high-risk (with major impact on mortality) or functional (with major impact on function), and multimorbidity was determined for both classes in the total sample of 2751. Factors associated with high-risk and functional multimorbidity were determined first through bivariate analysis and then through multivariable median regression in 2013 patients with complete data.ResultsMedian age was 52 years (IQR 43–59). Cisgendered women comprised 24.6% of the sample, and 31.7% were African-American. Both functional and high-risk comorbidities were common and risk increased with age. Among those 75 and older, median number of both functional and high-risk comorbidities was 3 (IQR 2–4). High-risk comorbidities were associated with age (p<0.001), more years with an HIV diagnosis (p<0.001) and being an African-American (p<0.001). Associated with a higher number of functional comorbidities were age (p<0.001), being a cisgender female (p<0.001), being Hispanic (p=0.01) and more years with an HIV diagnosis (p<0.001).ConclusionsComorbidities with functional impact increase with age in parallel to those with a more direct impact on mortality and should be assessed and monitored, especially as the population with HIV ages.

Background: Violence or violent imagery, defined as any image that conveys an imminent physical or existential threat to person(s), property, or society, with or without weaponry, is often featured in advertising. However, the effects of exposure (sporadic or chronic) to such imagery are not fully understood. The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence and types of violence portrayed in advertising on public buses in New York City (NYC). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, from April to July 2019, researchers catalogued and coded the print advertising images present on the passenger entry side of all Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) bus lines in Manhattan to determine whether images of violence or violent acts were present. Unlike images of alcohol and tobacco products (banned from MTA property in 2017 and 1992, respectively), there are no similar restrictions on violence or violent imagery. Results: A total of 23 out of 136 (17%) observed advertisements included images of violence and/or actual or imminent violent acts. One hundred percent of images involving violence were embedded in advertisements for mass media/entertainment purposes often featuring well known and favorably regarded actors and entertainment personalities or companies. Conclusion: People of all ages and backgrounds are passively exposed to bus advertisements in a variety of settings. This study contributes to the literature regarding the extent to which the public is passively exposed to violent advertising. Additional study is required to further understand the link between violent imagery and attitudes toward/tolerance of violence.
