Intrinsic capacity predicts mortality better than frailty index

Higher intrinsic capacity lowered mortality risk (HR = 0.84 against 1.25 per 0.1 frailty increase) and remained predictive after adjusting for frailty…Higher intrinsic capacity lowered mortality risk (HR = 0.84 against 1.25 per 0.1 frailty increase) and remained predictive after adjusting for frailty index.
