OBJECTIVES: To determine the association between plasma N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and intrinsic capacity in an older population. METHOD: We recruited 283 participants aged 60-97 years (mean 77.42±4.08 years). Intrinsic capacity was assessed with the World Health Organization Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) screening tool including six domains: cognition, locomotion, vitality, hearing, vision, and psychology. Multimorbidity, polypharmacy, gait speed, physical activity, lifestyles, and chronic inflammation were assessed. We used multivariate logistic regression and the Spearman's correlation to assess the association between plasma NT-proBNP and intrinsic capacity. RESULTS: The average intrinsic capacity score was 4.53±1.34. The percentage of decreased intrinsic capacity was 75.3%. Participants with decreased intrinsic capacity were older, with more cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and polypharmacy, and had lower gait speed and higher C-reactive protein. Plasma NT-proBNP was significantly higher in the decreased intrinsic capacity group (128.0[56.8-280.8] pg/mL vs. 72.6[39.7-120.0] pg/mL, p<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that NT-proBNP was the only independent risk factor for decreased intrinsic capacity among multiple covariates (odds ratio=1.005, p=0.038). Elevated NT-proBNP levels were associated with abnormal locomotion, hearing, vision, and psychology domains. Additionally, NT-proBNP levels were inversely correlated with the intrinsic capacity score adjusted for both age and coronary artery disease (r=-0.371, p< 0.001). CONCLUSION: Elevated NT-proBNP levels were associated with decreased intrinsic capacity in older persons, independent of age, multimorbidity, polypharmacy, and chronic inflammation. Further longitudinal studies are required to explore the predictive role of NT-proBNP on declines in intrinsic capacity.
