Abstract

With the accelerating global aging process, health issues among older adults have become increasingly severe.

The World Health Organization (WHO) introduced the concept of intrinsic capacity and published the Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE): Guidance for Person-Centred Assessment and Pathways in Primary Care
