Are adverse socioeconomic conditions in childhood associated with intrinsic capacity in older age? A cross-sectional study from the Lausanne cohort Lc65.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to assess the associations between childhood adverse socioeconomic conditions and intrinsic capacity in older adults using an integrative approach to ageing.

Design

A cross-sectional study.

Setting

We used data from the Lausanne Cohort 65+, a population-based longitudinal study that has been conducted in Lausanne, Switzerland, since 2004.

Participants

Lausanne citizens aged 67-71 years old.
