Construction of an Intervention Program for Intrinsic Capacity in Elderly Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Complicated with Hypertension

This study aims to construct an intervention program for the intrinsic capacity (IC) of elderly patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) complicated with hypertension based on the Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) model, providing a reference for clinical intervention. A preliminary intervention program was formulated through literature review, then refined via two rounds of expert panel meetings (11 experts participating, involving deletion of 4 tertiary-level items and clarification of 1 primary-level and 3 tertiary-level items) to form the final program. Conclusions indicate the program is necessary, scientific, and clinically applicable, offering a basis for IC intervention in this population.
