Intrinsic capacity of older people in the community using WHO Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework: a cross-sectional study.

The ICOPE screening tool is a sensitive instrument to detect intrinsic capacity impairment among community-dwelling older adults and it does not demand substantial workforce; its use is worthy to be supported. The intrinsic capacity impairment in community-dwelling older adults are prevalent, in particular, in locomotor and cognitive capacity. Actions should be taken to slow or prevent the impairment, support self-care and social engagement in old age.
