Registry summary
The ICOPE Brazil study aims to understand aging trajectories in Brazil, especially healthy aging trends based on intrinsic capacity, a collective of mental and physical capacities one may have to maintain their functional ability to execute daily life activities. Tests and questionnaires will be applied to collect data on mobility capacity, cognitive capacity, nutritional status, vision, and hearing (sensorial) capacities, and mental health. These assessments are in consonance with what the World Health Organization proposed in the Integrated Care for Older People Program (ICOPE). Participants will be followed up for three years, and the primary outcomes of interest are loss of intrinsic capacity, mobility impairment, cognitive impairment, incident depressive symptoms, loss of functional ability, incident frailty, incident sarcopenia, incident falls, hospitalization, multimorbidity, and mortality.
