Abstract

Intrinsic capacity (IC) preservation during midlife represents a critical yet overlooked opportunity for preventing age-related functional decline. We developed WomenWellness, a 12-week personalized multicomponent intervention aligned with the WHO Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework, and evaluated its effectiveness and scalability potential.
