Association between intrinsic capacity trajectories and risk of stroke incidence in middle-aged and older chinese adults: Evidence from a nationwide prospective cohort study based on CHARLS.
Abstract
Stroke is a major public health concern and a leading cause of disability and death in aging populations. Intrinsic capacity (IC), a concept introduced by the World Health Organization, reflects an individual's overall functional ability across multiple domains including cognition, psychological well-being, mobility, vitality, and sensory function. IC has emerged as a core metric within the healthy aging framework, but its prospective relationship with stroke risk remains unclear. A deeper understanding of this link may inform early, function-based prevention strategies.

Research summary
The paper claims that intrinsic capacity trajectories are associated with the risk of stroke incidence in middle-aged and older Chinese adults. This research is relevant as it explores the relationship between functional ability and stroke risk, contributing to the understanding of healthy aging and potential prevention strategies.
