Approaching <scp>person‐centered long‐term</scp> care: The trajectories of intrinsic capacity and functional decline in <scp>Taiwan</scp>

Abstract

Heterogeneous patterns of intrinsic capacity that delay further functional decline are promising markers of function trajectories for a person-centered care approach in long-term care services. Targeting the needs of intrinsic capacity groups to prevent functional decline offer insights into: (i) strengthening function-centered care modalities to delay severe dependency as individuals get older; and (ii) validating regular monitoring intrinsic capacity as an early warning system to achieve healthy aging.
