About this Research Topic
However, to date, the tools that geriatricians can use to measure the contribution of each domain to the IC model, the factors and mechanisms that contribute to sustainability and physical reserve are not fully understood. It seems essential to compare the trajectories of frailty and IC.
The goal of the Research Topic is to decrease the knowledge gap about the healthy aging model, understand how IC domains interact with each other, and measure each domain's contribution to the healthy aging mode. We aim to demonstrate the possibility of interventions to return the aging processes from pathological to healthy, describe the difference between frailty and IC, and demonstrate the mechanisms of resilience and physical and cognitive reserves.
All types of articles will be considered, such as original research, reviews (systematic, review, and mini-reviews), hypothesis and theory, and perspective articles.
Keywords: frailty, intrinsic capasity, resilience, healthy aging, measurement of intrinsic capacity, trajectories of intrinsic capasity, vitality, locomotion, cognition, sensory impairments, psychological domen, physiological reserves
