Abstract

Intrinsic capacity (IC), a composite of physical and mental capacities, is a marker of healthy aging. However, the association between changes in IC and trajectories in older adults and the onset of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remains unclear.

Research summary

The paper investigates the relationship between intrinsic capacity trajectories and the incidence of cardiovascular disease in older adults. This study is relevant as it explores factors associated with healthy aging and the prevention of age-related diseases, contributing to the understanding of longevity.
