Latent class analysis of intrinsic capacity among rural older adults in China and its influencing factors.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The decline of intrinsic capacity (IC) is especially pronounced among rural older adults and significantly impacts their health outcomes. However, the heterogeneity of IC profiles in this population and its associations with factors like self-care ability are not well understood. Objective: This study aimed to identify latent classes of IC among rural older adults in China and examine their influencing factors. Methods: Using convenience sampling method, 607 rural older adults in Guizhou Province were recruited between January to June, 2025. Data were collected through questionnaires including a general information survey, self-care ability scale, frailty assessment tool, and intrinsic capacity evaluation instrument. Latent class analysis was performed to identify patterns of intrinsic capacity, followed by multivariate logistic regression to determine influencing factors. Results: The intrinsic capacity of rural older adults was classified into three latent classes: "Physically Weak and Lacking Vitality Group" (38.71%), "Balanced and Stable Group" (22.41%), and "Cognitive-Motor Impairment Group" (38.88%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that living alone, low monthly household income, advanced age, frailty status, self-care ability, current work participation, rural residence, and multiple medication use were significant influencing factors for the latent classes of intrinsic capacity ( Conclusion: The deterioration of intrinsic capacity among rural older adult populations exhibits distinct categorical patterns. Healthcare providers should implement tailored and individualized nursing interventions based on these differential influencing factors to enhance the intrinsic capacity levels of rural older adults.
