Overview
Brief Summary
This study is being done to understand how a physical activity walking intervention affects metabolic parameters (i.e., blood sugar, cholesterol, certain body measurements) in people with and without HIV. This study involves a physical activity intervention where participants will progressively increase activity as tolerated over a six month period.
Detailed Description
This study is being done to understand how a physical activity walking intervention affects metabolic parameters (i.e., blood sugar, cholesterol, certain body measurements) in people with and without HIV. This study involves a physical activity intervention where participants will progressively increase the total number of daily steps to approximately 10,000 steps/day as tolerated. We will monitor participant steps and physical activity using a physical activity monitor. The study will consist of 5 in-person study visits where participants will complete body measurements, laboratory testing (for metabolic parameters e.g. blood sugar and cholesterol), and a questionnaire.
Investigators

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Acceptability of Study Activities (Recruitment)
Time Frame: 6 months
To determine acceptability of study activities investigators will determine overall recruitment and determine percentage of the target recruitment that enrolled in the study at the 6 month study completion point (goal = 90% of our target).
Adherence to Study Activities of Study Activities
Time Frame: 6 months
Investigators will determine adherence to study activities by determination of the completion of study visits, completion of laboratory testing at study visits, and completion of step counting journals. Investigators will assess total number of documented study visits, completion of laboratory testing, and assessment of total number of days steps were entered in step logs. Investigators will assess the total number of visits, laboratory blood draws, and entries in to step log at each visit and determine overall percentage completed.
Acceptability of Study Activities (Attrition)
Time Frame: 6 months
Investigators will measure attrition by determination of the number of participants who complete all study visits (measured by total number of participants who complete the baseline, 3-month, and 6-month study visits - goal \>75%). These will be assessed at the end of the 6-month study period.
Secondary Outcomes
- Metabolic Parameters (Laboratory Measurement - HBA1c)(6 months)
- Metabolic Parameters (Laboratory Measurement - blood glucose)(6 months)
- Metabolic Parameters (Laboratory Measurement - lipids)(6 months)
- Body Composition (Waist Circumference [cm])(6 months)
- Body Composition (BMI [kg/m^2])(6 months)
- Quality of Life (Health-Related Quality of Life (SF-36))(6 months)
