Psychological resilience, cardiovascular disease, and mortality – Insights from the German Gutenberg Health Study
Lower psychological resilience is associated with increased CVD prevalence and all-cause mortality. These findings highlight resilience as a potential target for cardiovascular risk assessment and intervention. Incorporating resilience measures in clinical practice may help identify vulnerable individuals who could benefit from strategies to enhance adaptive coping, improving cardiovascular and overall health outcomes.
