- Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
- Intrinsic capacity (IC) is a composite measure of physical and mental capacities.
- The study analyzed data from four aging cohorts: CHARLS, HRS, MHAS, and SHARE.
- Participants with impairments in two or more IC domains had a higher risk of incident CVD.
- Stable impaired IC status was associated with elevated CVD risks compared to robust groups.
- Routine assessment and monitoring of IC may help prevent CVD.
