Longitudinal Associations Between Psychological Resilience and Cognitive Function:Evidence from the U.S. Health and Retirement Study.
Abstract
Reductions in psychological resilience and declining cognition are common among older adults. Understanding the longitudinal association between them could be beneficial for interventions that focus on age-related cognitive and psychological health. In this study, we evaluated the longitudinal associations between cognition and psychological resilience over time in a nationally representative sample of US older adults.

Research summary
The paper investigates the longitudinal associations between psychological resilience and cognitive function in older adults, which is relevant to understanding factors that may influence cognitive health as people age. However, it primarily focuses on associations rather than addressing root causes of aging or proposing interventions that could significantly alter the aging process. Thus, while it contributes to the field of aging research, its impact is limited and more incremental than transformative.
