Abstract: The increasing population aging has posed a huge challenge to the healthcare worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) has pointed out the concept of "healthy aging" and the Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) model. Currently, ICOPE has been practiced in several countries, including China (Beijing), yet with fewer reports on it. This paper systematically analyses the current status of the implementation of the WHO ICOPE model at home and abroad and puts forward relevant insights into the practice of ICOPE in China, with a view to providing a reference for the introduction and promotion of ICOPE in China in the future.

Key words: the elderly; ICOPE; integrated care; healthy aging
