Prolonged multimorbidity

downin humans1

1 study
  1. prolonged multimorbidity decreases intrinsic capacity index in humans (β = -0.0712, p < 0.01).

    “prolonged multimorbidity (β = -0.0712, p < 0.01) was more detrimental than onset alone (β = −0.0368, p < 0.01).”

Multimorbidity shock

downin humans1

1 study
  1. multimorbidity shock decreases intrinsic capacity index in humans (β = -0.0245, p < 0.05).

    “When individual fixed effects and dynamic correction were added, the naïve cross-sectional link between multimorbidity shock and IC was positive (β = 0.357, p < 0.01), but the sign flipped (β = -0.0245, p < 0.05)”

1 study
  1. Intrinsic capacity index is associated with construct validity in humans (CFI reported as CLI=0.947; TLI=0.938; RMSEA=0.089; SRMR=0.051).
