Intrinsic Capacity (IC) has been proposed by the World Health Organization as a marker of healthy aging, based on individual's functional abilities and intended at preserving successful aging. We aimed to investigate the association of visit-to-visit BPV with IC decline in a population of community-dwelling older adults. METHODS: The study population consisted of 1407 community-dwelling participants aged >/=70 years from the MAPT study evaluated during the 5-year follow-up. Systolic BPV (SBPV) and diastolic BPV (DBPV) were determined through six indicators. Cognition, psychology, locomotion and vitality constituted the four IC domains assessed. Total IC Z-score resulted from the sum of the four domains Z-scores divided by 4. The incidence of domain impairment over time was also assessed. RESULTS: Higher SBPV was significantly associated with poorer IC Z-scores in all linear mixed models [1-SD increase of CV%: beta(SE)=-0.010(0.001), p < 0.01]. Similar results were observed for DBPV [1-SD increase of CV%: beta(SE)=-0.003(0.001), p = 0.02]. Incident IC impairment was significantly higher in participants with greater SBPV, [HR=1.16 (95 % CI, 1.01-1.33), p = 0.03], while greater DBPV did not show a higher risk of incident IC impairment. CONCLUSIONS: Greater BPV is associated with IC decline over time. Our findings support BP instability as a presumable index of altered cardiovascular homeostatic mechanism, suggesting that BPV might be a clinical marker of aging and addressable risk factor for promoting healthy aging.
