Association of Composite and Domain-Specific Intrinsic Capacity and Frailty Among Older Adults in India: Evidence from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI).
Article in Journal of frailty, sarcopenia and falls, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Frailty and intrinsic capacity (IC), central constructs in the WHO healthy ageing framework, reflect vulnerability and resilience, respectively. Although both are linked to adverse outcomes, population-level evidence from India examining their relationship remains limited. This study explored the association between IC and frailty among older Indian adults. Methods: Data from 26,943 community-dwelling adults aged ≥60 years from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI Wave 1) were analysed. Frailty was assessed using Fried's phenotype. IC was measured across cognition, locomotion, sensory, vitality, and mood domains, generating a composite score (0-10). Associations between IC and frailty status were examined using chi-square tests and multinomial logistic regression adjusted for sociodemographic factors and comorbidities. Results: Median age was 67 (63-72) years, and 48.4% were male. Frail individuals had lower median IC scores [6 (5-7)] than pre-frail and robust participants [7 (6-8); p<0.001]. Higher IC scores were inversely associated with pre-frailty (RRR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.75-0.84) and frailty (RRR: 0.67, 95%CI: - 0.64-0.71). Poor cognition, locomotion, vitality, and mood were significantly associated with frailty, whereas sensory impairment was not. Conclusion: Lower IC is strongly associated with frailty among older Indian adults, supporting IC-based geriatric assessment for early identification of frailty progression.
