Termenul aproape necunoscut care arată cât de bine îmbătrânim. În Franța, zeci de mii de oameni sunt deja evaluați astfel

Intrinsic capacity, a term introduced by WHO in 2015, assesses how well individuals maintain physical and mental functions as they age. It encompasses mobility, cognition, vision, hearing, mental state, and vitality. In France, thousands of elderly individuals have been evaluated using this model, which helps identify those needing assistance. Studies show that higher intrinsic capacity correlates with better autonomy and lower mortality risk. Research indicates that intrinsic capacity declines with age, but individuals of the same chronological age can exhibit significant functional differences. Programs in France are actively monitoring intrinsic capacity to improve elderly care and may inform anti-aging treatments in the future.
