A systematic review identified 27 studies measuring resilience in elderly populations using the Connor-Davidson scale. The USA, China, and Australia contributed the most articles, with the highest resilience level found in Australia and the lowest in Japan among disaster survivors. The review concludes resilience is a significant protective factor against adversities related to aging and disease.
