Description
Melsaeter and four co-authors study intrinsic capacity in older adults in Norway, in work from twenty twenty-six. Intrinsic capacity is a World Health Organization idea that joins five domains: vitality, movement, cognition, mood, and senses. It aims to capture healthy aging in one frame.
Data came from the large HUNT population study, with more than eight thousand home dwelling adults aged seventy and up. Standard tests measured movement and cognition, while surveys covered the rest. Self rated health was split into good or poor. Models adjusted for age and education. The study maps how each domain relates to how older people judge their own health.
