Article Abstract
Objective: Conduct a systematic review of existing studies on intrinsic capacity (IC) and a meta-analysis of studies to assess the overall effectiveness of ICOPE in improving IC in older adults.
Methods: Ten databases were systematically searched from inception to November 8, 2023, and the search was last updated on January 2, 2024. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were included. The main outcomes were IC (cognition, psychological, sensory, vitality and locomotion).
Results: The results showed ICOPE had a significant effect in improving cognitive function (SMD = 0.36; 95% CI, 0.17 to 0.56, p < 0.001, 12 RCTs, 7926 participants) and depressive symptoms (SMD = -0.70; 95% CI, -0.96 to -0.43, p < 0.001, 26 RCTs, 11,034 participants), but there was no statistically significant difference in improving locomotion (SMD = 0.16; 95% CI, -0.03 to 0.34, p = 0.098, 3 RCTs, 1580 participants). Meta-regression analysis shows that intervention duration should be paid attention to when the source of heterogeneity is discussed on the cognition.
Conclusion: The results suggest that ICOPE may be a potentially effective approach to help improve the IC in older adults, showing significant potential for improving cognitive function and reducing depressive symptoms in particular.
Implications For The Profession And/or Patient Care: ICOPE is expected to provide effective strategies to enhance issues such as IC and may be an innovative way to improve the overall health of older adults. This result provides strong support for geriatric nursing practice and encourages the adoption of ICOPE as a viable nursing approach to promote healthy ageing.

Recent developments in healthcare and scientific research have shifted the perception of ageing from a period of decline to recognising its potential for sustained functional ability, well-being, and societal contributions. In light of this perspective, a multidisciplinary panel of experts from five European countries conducted a narrative review of the literature. It convened for a one-day consensus meeting to identify key barriers, facilitators, and research priorities related to healthy ageing.

Young adults (17-25 years old) are at greater risk of experiencing depression or anxiety, and have worse psychological therapy outcomes compared to working-age and older adults. Social functioning and related constructs are valued as outcomes of treatment, and may be particularly important to young adults, who report loneliness and a lack of social support. The relationship between social functioning and mental health during treatment in this group therefore requires further exploration.

Background: Treatment guidelines recommend evidence-based psychological therapies for adults with intellectual disabilities with co-occurring anxiety or depression. No previous research has explored the effectiveness of these therapies in mainstream psychological therapy settings or outside specialist settings.
Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of psychological therapies delivered in routine primary care settings for people with intellectual disability who are experiencing co-occurring depression or anxiety.
Impact of Community Health Promotion Programs on the Well-Being of Older Adults: A Regional Analysis of Taiwan's Implementation of the WHO ICOPE Framework.

This study investigated the effectiveness of community health promotion programs based on the WHO ICOPE framework in improving the well-being of older individuals in rural Taiwan. Quantitative analyses, conducted using data from 52 rural communities on over 1000 participants, revealed a significant positive correlation between the number of program participation hours and improvements in subjective well-being, as measured using the World Health Organization WHO-5. The findings indicate that community health professionals should adapt ICOPE-based interventions to local contexts by adjusting program intensity, incorporating culturally relevant activities, and strengthening social support networks.

Background: Community-centred care integration for older adults is a cornerstone of the WHO's Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) implementation framework. Realising the potential of care integration for older people requires cohesive coordination of services and interprofessional collaboration (IPC) within and across teams. There is a gap in research evidence to understand how IPC can be fostered and sustained within team-based community care integration for older people.
