Lakdawala M, Palit S, Morais C, et al. - The present study was conducted to apply a multisystem approach in the examination of resilience by analyzing the relationship of a range of protective factors with pain and physical functioning among older adults with chronic low back pain (cLBP). Researchers recruited a total of 60 community-dwelling adults ages 60+ with cLBP who completed measures of psychological (positive affect, hope, wellbeing, optimism), health (waist-hip ratio, body mass index, medical comorbidities), and social (emotional, instrumental, informational support) functioning. They conducted a principal component analysis to develop composite domains for these measures. No significant effects were observed for PROMIS pain intensity or movement-evoked pain. Among older adults with cLBP, targeting psychological resilience alone may be insufficient for improving pain-related outcomes. It has been considered that addressing mechanisms of health-related resilience may optimize interventions aimed at improving physical function in this population.
