ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the association between resilience and cognitive impairment in the elderly.@*Methods@#A face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted among 6 524 elderly people aged 60 and over in Anhui Province by cluster sampling. The survey included general demographic characteristics, resilience and cognitive function. Statistical methods such as t-test, chi-square test, binary Logistic regression were used for data analysis.@*Results@#The incidence of cognitive impairment in the elderly was 13.6%(886/6 524). The score of resilience in the elderly with normal cognitive function was (64.89±11.96), while it was (56.10±11.12) in the elderly with impaired cognitive function and the difference was statistically significant (t=20.511, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that there was a statistical correlation between resilience and cognitive impairment in the elderly (OR=0.936, 95%CI 0.930~0.943). After adjusting for depression, gender, age and other related factors, there was still a statistical correlation between resilience and cognitive impairment in the elderly (OR=0.963, 95%CI 0.955~0.971).@*Conclusions@#Resilience is related to cognitive impairment in the elderly, and higher resilience is the protective factor for cognitive impairment.
