Neurocognitive Correlates of Resilience in Late-Life Depression.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Increasing understanding of the neurocognitive correlates of resilience in late-life depression (LLD) could inform interventions to promote more sustained remission. We investigated cross-sectional relations between baseline resilience and domains of neurocognitive functioning in depressed older adults enrolled in one of four trials.

Methods

Participants (N = 288) completed neurocognitive tests of memory, language performance, and executive functioning as well as measures of subjective memory performance and components of resilience (grit, active coping self-efficacy, accommodative coping self-efficacy, and spirituality).

Results

Medium-sized associations were observed between greater resilience (overall resilience, accommodative coping) and lower frequency
