Intrinsic Capacity, Polygenic Risk Score, APOE Genotype, and Risk of Dementia

The World Health Organization recently released a novel metric for healthy aging: intrinsic capacity (IC). The relationship between IC and the incidence of dementia, and its subtypes, is unknown. We aimed to analyze the relationship between IC and the incidence of dementia and its subtypes. Moreover, we tested whether genetic susceptibility to dementia could be modified by IC.
