Abstract

Intrinsic capacity (IC), an internal composite ability proposed by the World Health Organization, is fundamental to older people's health. The present study examined potential models explaining the association between IC and quality of life (QoL) among older people in Taiwan. Frailty, basic activities of daily living (BADL), and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) were hypothesized to be mediators in the association between IC and QoL. Older people aged 50 years or above from community or medical center (N = 1,235; M_age = 72.63 years [SD = 7.19]; 601 males [48.7%]) completed a series of self-report and functional measures assessing IC, frailty, ADLs, and QoL. Results showed that IC was significantly associated with frailty, BADL, IADL, and QoL in the mediation models. Frailty was found to be a significant mediator in the association between IC and QoL alone or together with IADL. The findings indicate that IC is an important factor for older people to maintain good health and live a fulfilling life.

台湾老年人内在能力与生活品质之横断面研究。

内在能力是世界卫生组织提出的一种内部复合能力，是老年人健康的基础。摘要本研究旨在探讨台湾老年人认知能力与生活品质之间的关系。假设虚弱、基本日常生活活动（BADL）和工具性日常生活活动（IADL）是IC与生活质量之间关联的中介因子。来自社区或医疗中心的50岁或以上的老年人(N = 1,235；法师= 72.63岁[SD = 7.19]；601名男性（48.7%）完成了一系列自我报告和功能测量，评估IC、衰弱、ADLs和QoL。结果显示，在中介模型中，IC与脆性、BADL、IADL和QoL显著相关。虚弱被发现是IC单独或与IADL一起与生活质量之间的重要中介。研究结果表明，IC是老年人保持健康和充实生活的重要因素。
