生物-心理-社会模型视角下的老年躯体复原力影响因素探析

Abstract

Abstract: Against the backdrop of intensifying global population aging, physical resilience, which is the essential capacity for individuals to resist functional decline and facilitate health restoration, carries profound significance for achieving successful aging. Based on the biopsychosocial model, this study systematically analyzes the influencing factors of physical resilience in older adults. With regard to biological factors, age-related physiological degeneration, genetic predisposition, exercise habits, and dietary structure significantly modulate physiological reserve and restorative capacity; Acute and chronic diseases, acting as stressors, directly challenge the homeostatic maintenance and reparative potential of the organism. Among psychological determinants, self-efficacy and optimism enhance resilience by promoting health-related behaviors and alleviating inflammatory responses, whereas negative emotions such as anxiety and depression, as well as cognitive impairment, attenuate restorative capacity via neuroendocrine and immunological mechanisms. Social factors encompass social support, living environment, community resources, socioeconomic status, and cultural background, which collectively constitute the external support system influencing health in older adults. We propose that the enhancement of physical resilience necessitates the integration of multi-level intervention strategies spanning biological, psychological, and social domains. Future research should be dedicated to establishing individualized and multi-dimensional frameworks for improving resilience, thereby comprehensively promoting the overall health status of the elderly population.
