Resilience and executive dysfunction in healthy adults between 30 and 60 years old / Resiliência e disfunção executiva em adultos entre 30 e 60 anos de idade / Resiliencia y disfunción ejecutiva en adultos entre 30 y 60 años de edad
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Objectives: To study of the possible associations between resilience and age, executive dysfunction and age, resilience and executive dysfunction, in healthy adults between 30 and 60 years old. Methods: A pilot, transversal study involving 180 subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. CD-RISC was use to assess resilience. DEX-sp was use to assess executive dysfunction.
Results: When testing bivariate associations between age, resilience and executive dysfunction, we found statistically significant associations between age and resilience (p = 0.001); age and executive dysfunction (p = 0.001); resilience and executive dysfunction (p = 0.001).
Conclusions: The present study found significant associations between age and resilience, between age and executive dysfunction and between resilience and executive dysfunction, in healthy adults between 30 and 60 years. Future studies might explore mediating variables among these associations and describe interactions between variables over time.
Keywords: resilience; executive dysfunction; healthy adults; neuropsychology; cognitive decline; empirical research.Â
RESUMEN
Objetivos: Estudiar la posible asociación entre resiliencia y edad, disfunción ejecutiva y edad, resiliencia y disfunción ejecutiva, en adultos entre 30 y 60 años. Métodos: Estudio piloto, transversal. Participaron 180 sujetos que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. La resiliencia y la disfunción ejecutiva se evaluaron mediante CD-RISC y DEX-sp, respectivamente.
Resultados: Ensayando asociaciones bivariadas entre edad, resiliencia y disfunción ejecutiva hallamos asociaciones estadÃsticamente significativas entre edad y resiliencia (p = 0.001); edad y disfunción ejecutiva (p = 0.001); resiliencia y disfunción ejecutiva (p = 0.001).
Conclusiones: Encontramos asociaciones significativas entre edad y resiliencia, edad y disfunción ejecutiva, resiliencia y disfunción ejecutiva, en adultos entre 30 y 60 años. Estudios futuros podrÃan explorar las variables que median en estas asociaciones y describir las interacciones entre la variables en el tiempo.
Palabras clave: resiliencia; disfunción ejecutiva; adultos; neuropsicologÃa; declive cognitivo decline; investigación empÃrica.
RESUMO
Objetivos: Estudar a possÃvel associação entre resiliência, idade e disfunção executiva em adultos entre 30 e 60 anos. Métodos: Estudo piloto, transversal. Participaram 180 sujeitos que cumpriram os critérios de inclusão. A resiliência e a disfunção executiva se avaliaram mediante CD-RISC e DEX-sp, respectivamente.
Resultados: Testando associações bivariadas entre idade, resiliência e disfunção executiva, achamos associações estatisticamente significativas entre idade e resiliência (p= 0.001); idade e disfunção (p = 0.001); resiliência e disfunção executiva (p = 0.001).
Conclusões: Encontramos associações significativas entre idade e resiliência, idade e disfunção executiva, resiliência e disfunção executiva, em adultos entre 30 e 60 anos. Estudos futuros poderiam explorar as variáveis que mediam nestas associações e descrever as interações entre as variáveis no tempo.
