Association between intrinsic capacity and urinary incontinence in community-dwelling octogenarians: Results from the ilSIRENTE study

Key Points

• Urinary incontinence significantly correlates with lower intrinsic capacity in octogenarians, suggesting potential health risks.
• Involved 1,500 community-dwelling octogenarians showing that poor intrinsic capacity is linked to higher rates of urinary incontinence.
• Assessment through observational analysis of data collected in the ilSIRENTE study across various communities in Italy.
• Highlighting the need for healthcare strategies addressing urinary incontinence and intrinsic capacity in elderly populations.
