A short neuropsychological test battery was used to assess a wide spectrum of cognitive functions. The optimal number of cognitive clusters was determined by the silhouette method and a minimization of the Bayesian information criterion.\u0000\u0000\u0000Results\u0000Participants' mean age was 58.8 years (SD = 6.6), and 12.1% were women. A 3-cluster solution yielded stable Jaccard coefficients (p > 0.70). Cluster 1 showed more significant impairment in visual and verbal memory domains, whereas participants in cluster 3 showed significant impairment in language, and abstraction. Cluster 2 showed no predominance of any domain for alterations.\u0000\u0000\u0000Conclusions\u0000There are different cognitive profiles among OAWH with HAND. These differences may be due to individual patterns of HIV-related and non-HIV-related factors.","PeriodicalId":12736,"journal":{"name":"Gaceta medica de Mexico","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140728294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
