Background Physical exercise is effective at attenuating ageing-related physical decline in
general, but evidence of its benefits for older adults in residential care, who often have …

Background Together with environmental factors, intrinsic capacity (the composite of all the
physical and mental capacities of an individual) has been proposed as a marker of healthy …

Abstract Introduction The World Health Organisation recently defined the construct of
intrinsic capacity (IC), a function-based marker of older adult's health encompassing all …

Aging is characterized by significant physiological changes, with the degree of decline
varying significantly among individuals. The preservation of intrinsic capacity over the …

Intrinsic capacity is the sum of an individual's physical and mental capacities, which helps
determine functional ability. Intrinsic capacity decline is an important predictor of adverse …

Intrinsic capacity (IC), the composite of physical and mental capacities, declines with age at
different rates and patterns between individuals. We aimed to investigate the association …

Abstract Background The World Health Organization has developed the Integrated Care for
Older People (ICOPE) program, a public health strategy to maintain older adults' functional …

Intrinsic capacity (IC), a function-centered construct, is defined as the composite of all
physical and mental capacities of an individual. IC and surrounding environmental factors …

Background Maintaining physical function is critical for older adults to achieve healthy aging.
The Otago exercise program (OEP) has been widely used to prevent falls for older adults …

Background Falls in older adults significantly impact overall health and healthcare costs.
Intrinsic capacity (IC) reflects functional reserve and is an indicator of healthy aging. Aims To …
