The importance of resilience In psychosocial studies, resilience refers to one's ability to sustain or regain well-being amidst adversity. Physical resilience, though lacking a unanimous definition, often denotes resistance or recovery from functional decline after health challenges. Incorporated into models of successful aging, resilient individuals persevere through hardships, in addition to retaining functional stability and a sense of well-being.

The definition of intrinsic capacity often encompasses cognition, locomotion, sensory integrity, vitality, and psychological capacity. Extensive research on depression demonstrates the strong link between LLD, aspects of the ICF model, and intrinsic capacity measurements.
