ObjectiveTo investigate the present situation of input, output, outcome and impact of all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia in China, and analyze how the input predict the output, outcome and impact. MethodsFrom March 1st to April 30th, 2025, a questionnaire survey was conducted on all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia, covering four dimensions: input, output, outcome and impact. A total of 1 365 questionnaires were distributed. The input included four items: laws and policies, human resources, equipment and facilities, and rehabilitation information management. The output included two items: technical paths and benefits/effectiveness. The outcome included three items: coverage rates, rehabilitation interventions and functional results. The impact included two items: health and sustainability. Each item contained several questions, all of which were described in a positive way. Each question was scored from one to five. A lower score indicated that the situation of the community-based rehabilitation station was more in line with the content described in the question. Regression analysis was performed using the total score of each item of input dimension as independent variables, and the total scores of the output, outcome and impact dimensions as dependent variables. ResultsA total of 1 262 valid questionnaires were collected. The mean values of input, output, outcome and impact of community-based rehabilitation stations were 1.827 to 1.904, with coefficient of variation of 45.892% to 49.239%. The regression analysis showed that, rehabilitation information management, human resources, and laws and policies significantly predicted the output dimension (R² = 0.910, P < 0.001). Meanwhile, all four items in the input dimension predicted both the outcome (R² = 0.850, P < 0.001) and impact dimensions (R² = 0.833, P < 0.001). ConclusionInput, output, outcome and impact of the community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia were generally in line with the content of the questions, although some imbalances were observed. Additionally, the input of community-based rehabilitation stations could significantly predict their output, outcome and impact.

Objective:To explore the latent classes of intrinsic capacity and their influencing factors among hospitalized older adults, providing a basis for developing targeted intervention strategies.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to recruit 371 hospitalized older adults from Beijing Hospital between April 2022 and July 2023. The integrated care for older people comprehensive assessment tool was used to assess the intrinsic capacity of hospitalizd older adults, along with grip strength tests. Latent class analysis (LCA) was employed to classify the intrinsic capacity of hospitalizd older adults, and multinomial Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the influencing factors of different latent classes.Results:Among the 371 older adults, 78.98% (293/371) exhibited declines in various dimensions of intrinsic capacity, with impairment detection rates of 36.39% (135/371) in cognition, 34.23% (127/371) in mobility, 21.02% (78/371) in vitality, 33.69% (125/371) in psychological well-being, and 47.98% (178/371) in sensory function. The LCA results identified three latent classes of intrinsic capacity: high mobility-moderate sensory group (39.08%, 145/371) , low cognition-high mobility group (26.68%, 99/371) , and low mobility group (34.23%, 127/371) . Multinomial Logistic regression analysis revealed that age, gender, monthly family income, polypharmacy, and grip strength were influencing factors of the latent classes of intrinsic capacity ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The intrinsic capacity of hospitalized older adults is heterogeneous. It is essential to promptly identify the characteristics of intrinsic capacity in different groups, with particular attention to older adults in the low cognition-high mobility group and low mobility group, and implement targeted interventions to prevent and improve adverse outcomes.

Objective:To analyze the key β-amyloid protein (Aβ) deposition in brain regions affecting the progression from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods:Based on the positron emission tomography data of Aβ in the Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative database, the penalized generalized estimating equation (PGEE) and the mixed effects regression forest algorithm (MERF) were used to conduct dimensionality reduction analysis on 164 brain regions with Aβ deposition. Additionally, a multivariate longitudinal data joint model was used to screen the key Aβ deposition brain regions that influence the progression from MCI to AD.Results:Five key brain regions were commonly screened out by the PGEE and MERF models, they were the right prefrontal orbital cortex, the left superior temporal sulcus shore cortex, the right medial orbitofrontal cortex, the left putamen, and the right transverse temporal cortex, respectively. The results of the multivariate longitudinal data joint model based on these 5 Aβ deposition brain regions showed that, except the left superior temporal sulcus shore cortex, the longitudinal change trajectories of the other 4 Aβ deposition brain regions all affected the progression from MCI to AD ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The Aβ deposition in the right prefrontal orbital cortex, right medial orbitofrontal cortex, left putamen and right transverse temporal cortex affect the progression from MCI to AD.

Population aging has become a major global challenge. The World Health Organization (WHO) proposed the concept of healthy aging and issued the integrated care for older people (ICOPE) guidelines, aiming to mitigate or reverse the decline in intrinsic capacity among older adults through person-centered integrated care pathways, thereby maintaining optimal functional ability. Many countries have initiated ICOPE implementation tailored to their national contexts and have achieved encouraging outcomes. These include improvements in older adults' functional status through multidimensional assessment and early intervention, reduced healthcare utilization, and enhanced self-management abilities. This review summarizes the theoretical foundations and current research progress of integrated care for older people, providing a reference for the implementation of healthy aging strategies in China.
