AB  - BACKGROUNDS: Household polluting cooking fuels, as an important changeable 
      behavior, are related to various detrimental health effects among the elderly. 
      There is limited research on the association between polluting cooking fuel use 
      and intrinsic capacity (IC) as an indicator of healthy aging. This study aimed to 
      evaluate the above-mentioned association in India and China, where polluting 
      cooking fuel use is common. METHODS: We enrolled 33,803 participants aged 
      >/=60 years from two nationally representative studies: the Longitudinal Aging 
      Study in India and the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Polluting 
      cooking fuel use was defined as a self-report of using wood, coal, kerosene, crop 
      residue, or dung. IC was measured by five aspects, including locomotion, 
      cognition, vitality, sensory, and psychological capacity. The random-effects 
      mixed linear regression and logistic regression with population weighting were 
      performed. Multivariable-adjusted model and propensity score were used to adjust 
      for potential confounders. RESULTS: A total of 47.54 % and 59.32 % of elderly 
      adults reported primary cooking using polluting fuels in India and China, 
      respectively. Using polluting cooking fuels was consistently associated with IC 
      decline; particularly, cognitive capacity was the most susceptible domain. In 
      India, participants using polluting fuels had a 1.062 (95 % confidence interval 
      [CI]: 1.047-1.078) times risk for IC deficits, whereas more prominent results 
      were observed in China (odds ratio [OR]: 2.040, 95 % CI: 1.642-2.533). Such 
      harmful effects might be alleviated by transferring from polluting to clean 
      fuels. Additionally, the duration of polluting fuel use was also positively 
      associated with IC deficits. CONCLUSION: This study provided substantial public 
      implications on healthy aging for the elderly population at a global scale, 
      strengthening the importance of health education and policy efforts to accelerate 
      the transition from polluting to clean fuels.
