Plasma inflammation-related biomarkers are associated with intrinsic capacity in community-dwelling older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

How inflammation relates to intrinsic capacity (IC), the composite of physical and mental capacities, remains undefined. Our study aimed to investigate the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between plasma inflammation-related biomarkers and IC in older adults.

Methods

This secondary analysis of the Multidomain Alzheimer Preventive Trial (MAPT) included 1238 community-dwelling older individuals with IC assessments from 12 to 60 months. Plasma C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNFR-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) were measured at 12 months. IC was operationalized as a score ranging from 0 to 100, derived from four domains: cognition, Mini-Mental
