Intrinsic capacity and stroke risk in a multiple cohort study - PubMed

a day ago

Intrinsic capacity is a WHO concept representing a person's physical and mental abilities across five domains: cognition, psychological, sensory, vitality, and locomotor.
The study investigates the association between intrinsic capacity and incident stroke in 184,219 participants aged 40 years or older.
Both overall intrinsic capacity and each of its five domains are significantly associated with stroke incidence, with the strongest association in adults aged 80+.
The findings suggest intrinsic capacity as a promising target for primary stroke prevention in aging populations.
