2020-2030, que consistirá en diez años de colaboración concertada, catalizadora y sostenida. Las
personas mayores serán el eje central del plan, que aunará los esfuerzos de los gobiernos, la
sociedad civil, los organismos internacionales, los profesionales, las instituciones académicas, los
medios de comunicación y el sector privado en aras de mejorar la vida de estas personas, así como

The ICOPE Evidence Resource Center provides the evidence profiles and recommendations used to develop the ICOPE Guidelines on community-level interventions to manage declines in intrinsic capacity in older people. These evidence profiles and recommendations were produced from a synthesis of a series of systematic reviews of the best available evidence for community-level care for older people. A guideline development group convened by WHO formed these recommendations by consensus, supported by input from a wide range of stakeholders. The evidence profiles are organized around the 6 ICOPE priority actions.
