Implication

Cross-sectional study evaluates intrinsic capacity subtypes and their impact on fall and sarcopenia risks in older adults, suggesting targeted interventions.

Key Points

Characterize patterns of intrinsic capacity impairment and assess associations with falls and possible sarcopenia.
Cross-sectional study of 1,607 community-dwelling adults aged ≥60 years
Assessment using the ICOPE tool across five domains
K-means clustering and multivariate logistic regression were applied for analysis.
Over 92% exhibited impairment in at least one IC domain; sensory impairment was most common (80.9%)
Locomotion impairment had a strong association with fall risk (OR = 4.78, 95% CI: 2.21-7.62)
Cognitive impairment was significantly associated with possible sarcopenia (OR = 3.40, 95% CI: 2.18-5.32).
