Psychological resilience and clinical depression on bone loss and fracture.

ABSTRACT: The effects of psychological resilience and depressive symptoms on bone health have not been well-studied. This work aimed to evaluate the association between psychological resilience and depressive symptoms on bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporotic fracture in community-dwelling adults in Korea. Data from the Chungju Metabolic Disease Cohort were used. Between May 2007 and March 2011, 4029 participants aged 40 years or older underwent a baseline examination, and approximately four years later, they underwent a second examination. BMD was measured, and resilience and depression scales were completed. Participants in the lowest resilience group had lower BMD Z-scores at the femoral neck (0.04 ± 0.53 vs. 0.22 ± 0.950, p < 0.001) and the total hip (0.17 ± 0.98 vs. 0.34 ± 0.92, p < 0.001)
