Psychological resilience and psychological status among community-dwelling older adults: a cross-sectional study in China

Introduction

In aging societies, promoting psychological well-being among older adults is crucial. While psychological resilience is known to benefit mental health, less is understood about how external resources-specifically cultural and environmental resilience-influence psychological status (life satisfaction and depression) via resilience pathways in older populations. This study investigated these associations and their cross-sectional indirect associations through psychological resilience.
