Age-specific associations between intrinsic capacity impairments and self-rated health in community-dwelling adults: Insights from Taiwan longitudinal study on aging.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The World Health Organization's Integrated Care for Older People framework emphasizes intrinsic capacity (IC) assessment, yet the relationship between specific intrinsic capacity impairments and self-rated health (SRH) across different age groups remains inadequately characterized.

Objectives

To analyze age-specific associations between six IC domains and self-rated health using Taiwan Longitudinal Study on Aging data, adjusting for demographic, socioeconomic, and health factors.

Methods

We extracted 3,330 participants with good or poor self-rated health, stratified into three age groups: 55-64 years (n = 1,278), 65-74 years (n = 1,011), and 75+ years (n = 1,041). Five sequential logistic regression models assessed associations between IC impairments (locom
