Disentangling the overlap between frailty and intrinsic capacity in older adults
In later life, being frail does not necessarily imply low IC, and vice versa. Frailty and low IC identify different groups in early older age, but the overlap between them becomes more pronounced with increasing age. Comprehensive assessment of ageing therefore requires measures that capture both vulnerability to decline and capacity.
