Intrinsic capacity and risk of hip fracture in older adults: evidence from five multinational aging cohorts.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hip fracture poses a substantial threat to the quality of life in older adults. Evidence regarding the association between intrinsic capacity (IC) and hip fracture is limited. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between IC and hip fracture risk in older populations.

Methods

This multi-cohort study included five nationally representative aging cohorts: the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), the Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS), the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). Participants aged 60 years and older with baseline IC assessments and at least two follow-ups were included. Individuals with baseline hip fracture,
