The relationship between trajectories of intrinsic capacity and differences in the risk of functional ability decline in community-dwelling older adults: A socio-ecological approach.
Abstract
Functional ability (FA), a key determinant of healthy aging, is determined by intrinsic capacity (IC), environmental factors, and their interactions. IC is a composite of physical and mental capacities that undergo constant change. Therefore, understanding the factors that influence IC requires a multi-level analysis of individuals to optimize its trajectory.

Research summary
The paper claims that understanding the trajectories of intrinsic capacity can help identify differences in the risk of functional ability decline in older adults. This research is relevant as it explores intrinsic capacity, a fundamental aspect of aging, and its impact on functional ability, which is crucial for promoting healthy aging and longevity.
