The study provides a comprehensive overview of existing literature on resilience and intrinsic capacity in older adults. However, as a narrative review, it lacks the methodological rigor of primary research studies. The absence of systematic review methods and new statistical analysis limits its evidence quality. It is highly relevant to seniors but should be interpreted with caution due to potential biases in study selection and synthesis.

The study is useful for generating hypotheses and guiding future research but should not be used as standalone evidence for clinical decision-making. Future work could benefit from a systematic review or meta-analysis approach to strengthen evidence quality.
