Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic literature search was conducted in Web of Science, PubMed, PsycNet, and JSTOR for studies published between 2017 and 2025. Search terms included (including synonyms and closely related words) "resilience," "older people," and "models." Studies were screened based on relevance to resilience models, measurement too
