Age and ageing·2025

Low resilience increases suicidality risk across all ages. However, this association is only significant in midlife adults after accounting for other risk factors, indicating a complex relationship between resilience and suicidal ideation.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Resilience is a key factor in mental health.
  • Understanding its role in suicidality across different age groups is crucial for targeted interventions.
  • Previous research has not fully elucidated the lifespan associations between resilience and suicidality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between resilience and suicidality.
  • To examine how this association varies across different adult age cohorts.
  • To identify if resilience remains a significant predictor of suicidality after controlling for other risk factors.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the Personality and Total Health (PATH) Through Life Project (n=7485).
  • Stratified participants into three age cohorts: 20-24, 40-44, and 60-64 years.

  • Employed binary logistic regression to analyze the association between resilience and suicidality.

    • Main Results:

    • Low resilience was initially associated with increased suicidality risk across all age groups.
    • This association became non-significant in young and older adults when other risk factors were included in the models.
    • Midlife adults (40-44 years) showed a persistent increased likelihood of suicidality in fully adjusted models, despite low resilience.

    Conclusions:

    • Resilience is linked to suicidality throughout adulthood.
    • The predictive power of resilience for suicidality is age-dependent.
    • Midlife appears to be a critical period where resilience's protective effect against suicidality is most pronounced, even when accounting for other risk factors.
