Paper

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality and disability in aging populations. Intrinsic capacity (IC) is a novel measure related to health outcomes. However, most previous studies focused on baseline IC within individual cohorts. We investigated IC and its longitudinal changes in relation to CVD across three prospective cohorts.

Research summary

The paper claims that changes in intrinsic capacity are associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease. This research is relevant as it explores a novel measure (intrinsic capacity) in relation to cardiovascular disease, which is a significant concern in aging populations, potentially contributing to our understanding of age-related health outcomes.
