abstract="OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare a short and a long version of an  intrinsic capacity index and test their cross-sectional association with relevant  health outcomes in older adults. <br><br>DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis of the baseline  data of the FraDySMex study. PARTICIPANTS: 543 community-dwelling adults aged 50  years and older living in 2 municipalities in Mexico City, from which 435 had  complete data on the variables of interest. <br><br>METHODS: The intrinsic capacity indices  were obtained using principal components analysis. The performance of the indices  was tested respective to frailty, IADL and ADL. <br><br>RESULTS: The short and long versions  of the IC index performed well for assessing functional status. Using biometrical  variables like the phase angle, grip strength and gait speed measured by the GAIT  rite improved the index performance vis a vis IADL disability (Lawton), but not to  the other evaluated outcomes. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Both the long and short versions of the  intrinsic capacity indices tested were able to classify older adults according to  their functional status and were associated with relevant health outcomes.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
