Prevalence and Factors Associated with Impairment in Intrinsic Capacity among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: An Observational Study from South India.

The adoption of IC should be seen as an opportunity to disseminate geriatric care in our healthcare systems which lack the necessary attention to the needs of older persons.
