This study evaluates the implementation of a structured community-based pathway to screen, risk stratify, and prevent decline in intrinsic capacity (IC) among adults aged 60 years and above in Singapore. Using the World Health Organization (WHO) Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework and digital screening tools, participants will undergo IC domain screening in community settings. Individuals identified with early decline will receive targeted multidomain interventions and/or referral to primary or specialist care as indicated. Participants will be followed longitudinally to assess feasibility, uptake, functional trajectories, and implementation outcomes.
