Relationship Between Personality Measures and Perceived Mental Fatigability.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Examine the association between personality measures and perceived mental fatigability.

Methods

We performed a cross-sectional analysis in N=1670 men, age 84.3±4.1 years.

Results

One standard deviation lower conscientiousness (β=-0.91, p<.0001) and optimism (β=-0.63, p<.0001), and higher goal reengagement (β=0.51, p=.01) scores were independently associated with higher PFS Mental scores adjusted for age, cognitive function, self-re
