Abstract

Purpose: Promotion and maintenance of healthy aging is of utmost importance given the growing number of older adults worldwide. Fluctuation in intrinsic capacity (IC), defined as mental and physical functions, can be assessed objectively with an assigned score to predict health outcomes. The goal of the current review was to identify common measurement tools for IC assessment and evaluate IC scoring approaches.

Method: Seventeen studies met inclusion criteria for assessing five domains: vitality, locomotion, cognitive, psychological, and sensory.

Results: Reviewed studies used diverse instruments with inconsistent scoring approaches. Scoring ranged from simple additive scores to complex item response theory models.

Conclusion: Establishing consistency in assessment and scoring for IC will ensure usability of scores in clinical practice to promote healthy aging and identify older adults at risk for disability or care dependence. Additional research is needed to establish consensus in standardized scoring, assessment, and measurement of IC. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, xx(x), xx-xx.].

老年人内在能力的评估与评分：综合文献综述。

目的：鉴于全球老年人数量的不断增长，促进和保持健康老龄化至关重要。内在能力（IC）的波动，定义为精神和身体功能，可以用指定的分数客观评估，以预测健康结果。当前综述的目标是确定IC评估的通用测量工具和评估IC评分方法。方法：17项研究符合纳入标准，评估五个领域：活力、运动、认知、心理和感觉。结果：回顾的研究使用了不同的工具和不一致的评分方法。评分范围从简单的加法得分到复杂的项目反应理论模型。结论：建立IC评估和评分的一致性将确保评分在临床实践中的可用性，以促进健康老龄化，并识别有残疾或护理依赖风险的老年人。需要进一步的研究来建立对IC的标准化评分、评估和测量的共识[老年护理杂志，xx(x), xx-xx]。
