TI  - Intrinsic capacity: an under-researched concept in geriatrics.

AB  - In 2015, the World Health Organisation (WHO) introduced the concept of intrinsic 
      capacity (IC) as part of a new public health model for healthy ageing. IC refers 
      to the overall combination of an individual's physical and mental capacities, and 
      is promoted as a new positive approach to the health and wellbeing of older 
      adults. However, there is still insufficient evidence that implementing IC leads 
      to better care for older adults. Moreover, the current operationalisations of IC 
      lead to confusion and redundant research. In this commentary, we discuss whether 
      the concept of IC has added value for geriatrics, and describe the main issues 
      related to its conceptualisation, measurement, and application. We argue that 
      there is a need to clarify and validate the concept of IC, including independent 
      evidence regarding its feasibility and acceptance in clinical practice.
