TLDR
Increasing resilience and reducing depression might have effects on successful aging as strong as that of reducing physical disability, suggesting an important role for psychiatry in promoting successful aging.Abstract:
In a survey of 1,006 community-dwelling adults ages 50 to 99, self-rated “successful aging” was surprisingly more common in the oldest respondents. Greater age was associated with worse physical and cognitive functioning but also with higher levels of optimism and resilience and less depression. People with the poorest physical functioning who had high degrees of resilience had self-ratings of successful aging similar to those of physically healthy people with low resilience.read more
