Assessment of Physical Resilience Using Residual Methods and Its Association With Adverse Outcomes in Older Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Physical resilience (PR) is recognized as the ability to recover from the adverse effects of a stressor. However, there is a lack of consensus on how to optimally measure PR in older adults in general. We aimed to measure PR using residuals from regression analyses and investigated its association with adverse outcomes in older adults.

Research design and methods

A total of 6 508 older adults were included from the National Health and Aging Trends Study, which was a population-based prospective cohort study. PR was assessed using residual methods from a linear model regressing the short physical performance battery on clinical diseases, age, sex, race/ethnicity, and health condition. Adverse outcomes included all-cause mortality, falls, and overnigh
