OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to report the baseline characteristics of participants in the Canadian HIV and Aging Cohort Study (CHACS) and present amendments to the initial protocol.

METHODS: CHACS is a multi-centred prospective cohort study that was initially set from 2011 to 2016 and will now continue recruitment until 2024. Four additional years of follow-up have been added, and additional outcomes and covariates will be prospectively collected. Frailty will be assessed using a modified version of the Fried's frailty phenotype. The four interrelated aspects of gender-gender roles, gender identity, gender relationships, and institutionalized gender-will be measured using the GENESIS-PRAXY questionnaire. Diet will be assessed using a validated, web-based, self-administered food frequency questionnaire.

RESULTS: A total of 1049 participants (77% people living with HIV) were recruited between September 2011 and September 2019. Median age at baseline was 54 years (interquartile range 50-61). Most participants were male (84%) and white (83%). Compared with participants without HIV, those with HIV were more likely to be male; to report lower education levels and incomes; to be more sedentary; to use tobacco, recreational, and prescription drugs; to report a personal history of cardiovascular diseases; and to be frail.

CONCLUSIONS: The new assessments added to the CHACS protocol will allow for an even more detailed portrait of the pathways leading to accentuated aging for people living with HIV. Participants in the CHACS cohort display important differences in socio-economic and cardiovascular risk factors according to HIV serostatus. These imbalances must be taken into account for all further inferential analyses.
