Examining the factors associated with functional capacity of community-dwelling older adults using the ICF framework: a cross-sectional study from the Frailty in Brazilian Older Adults Study (FIBRA)
CONCLUSION: Functional capacity of older adults is associated with some non-modifiable factors, such as age and sex. The modifiable factors must be addressed by health professionals and policymakers in the geriatric area, especially depression, obesity, physical inactivity, and social support.PMID:35659442 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2022.2079574

Urinary incontinence and poor mental health should be addressed in the hospital. Increased utilization of reperfusion techniques may alter functional recovery patterns.PMID:35437107 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2022.2064379
