In the context of "healthy aging", strengthening research on the intrinsic capacities of the elderly, quickly and accurately evaluating them, objectively identifying factors that affect their decline in intrinsic capacities, and improving their intrinsic capacities through optimization measures can minimize the adverse health consequences and contribute to the healthy aging.
Objective: To understand the current research status of the
intrinsic capacities of elderly people and provide a basis for targeted and
personalized elderly care services.
Methods: A literature search was used for cross-sectional or
cohort studies on the connotation, measurement, incidence rate and influencing
factors of the internal ability of the elderly published in Chinese and English
in the past 10 years in six databases, namely PubMed, Embase, Web of Science,
the Cochrane Library, China Biomedical Literature Database and CNKI.
Results: A total of 59 papers were included. The research on the
intrinsic capacities of elderly people is still in the stage of exploring
theoretical models. The research hotspots include the concept of intrinsic
capacities, theoretical support, connotation dimensions, and construction of
evaluation systems.
Conclusion: Studying the health status of elderly people from the
perspective of intrinsic capacities not only meets the requirements of WHO for
healthy aging, but also can build a foundation in the field of geriatric
medicine a health security system that better meets the needs of the elderly
population. The construction of standardized evaluation tools has to be
strengthened, as well as multi-center, large sample longitudinal surveys and
randomized controlled trials.
