Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals factors affecting intrinsic capacity in older adults, highlighting balance and income significance.

Key Points

  • Good intrinsic capacity is positively linked to better balance and higher numbers of surgeries.
  • Participants with an income below the minimum wage showed significantly lower intrinsic capacity.
  • Comorbidities negatively impacted intrinsic capacity among community-dwelling older adults.
  • The assessment of intrinsic capacity can guide preventive strategies in gerontology for older populations.
