Summary
Life expectancy for people with HIV in Shanghai significantly improved from 2012-2023, especially for females. The survival gap narrowed but persists compared to the general population.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
- HIV/AIDS Research
Background:
- Life expectancy is a key indicator of population health.
- Understanding trends in life expectancy for people with HIV (PWH) is crucial for assessing healthcare effectiveness.
- The gap in life expectancy between PWH and the general population highlights ongoing health disparities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze temporal trends in life expectancy among PWH in Shanghai from 2012 to 2023.
- To stratify these trends by sex.
- To evaluate the evolving survival gap between PWH and the general population in Shanghai.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective cohort study utilizing national epidemiology database and abridged life tables.
- Inclusion of 24,848 people with HIV (PWH) in Shanghai.
- Analysis of life expectancy at age 20, stratified by sex, and comparison with the general population.
Main Results:
- Life expectancy at age 20 for PWH increased from 36.8 years (2012-2014) to 53.2 years (2021-2023).
- Significant increases were observed in both males and females, with greater improvement noted among females.
- The life expectancy gap between PWH and the general population narrowed from 26.8 years to 12.8 years.
Conclusions:
- Life expectancy for PWH in Shanghai has substantially increased between 2012 and 2023.
- Female PWH experienced greater improvements in life expectancy.
- While the survival gap has narrowed, it remains a significant public health consideration.

01:10Retrovirus Life Cycles
50.1K
Retroviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome that undergoes a special form of replication. Once the retrovirus has entered the host cell, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase synthesizes double-stranded DNA from the retroviral RNA genome. This DNA copy of the genome is then integrated into the host’s genome inside the nucleus via an enzyme called integrase. Consequently, the retroviral genome is transcribed into RNA whenever the host’s genome is transcribed, allowing the...

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

A life table is a statistical tool that summarizes the mortality and survival patterns of a population, providing detailed insights into the likelihood of survival or death across different age intervals within a cohort. By organizing data on survival probabilities and mortality rates, life tables offer a clear snapshot of population dynamics over time. They are extensively used in demography, public health, actuarial science, and ecology to analyze life expectancy, design health interventions,...
