Subgrouping Community-Dwelling Older Adults by Intrinsic Capacity Decline-A Cluster Analysis Based on the WHO ICOPE Framework in Rural Taiwan.
Abstract
This study applied the WHO ICOPE framework to identify patterns of intrinsic capacity (IC) decline among community-dwelling older adults in rural Taiwan. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 1,367 adults aged 65 and above using the ICOPE Step 1 screening tool, assessing six IC domains. Cluster analysis (

Research summary
The paper identifies patterns of intrinsic capacity decline among older adults using the WHO ICOPE framework. This research is relevant as it addresses intrinsic capacity, which is a key aspect of healthy aging and longevity, focusing on the functional abilities of older adults rather than merely treating age-related diseases.
