In this study, we assessed resilience, depression, and quality of life in a group of elderly individuals with or without chronic pain.
A cross-sectional study assessing elderly individuals followed up at a geriatrics outpatient clinic and divided into two groups: 54 elderly patients with chronic pain and 54 elderly with no chronic pain.
The sample comprised mainly women (67.6%), with mean age 79.9 years. The mean resilience index in the group with pain was 69.4 and, in the group with no pain, 80.1 (<0.001). Depression was observed in 35.2% of patients with chronic pain; there was no case of depression in those without chronic pain. Quality of life of the elderly with chronic pain was worse in all the domains assessed: physical, mental, emotional, social, vitality, and pain.
In the study sample, resilience was lower, depression was more frequent, and quality of life was worse in the group of elderly with chronic pain.

一项横断面研究，评估在老年病门诊随访的老年人，并将其分为两组：54例患有慢性疼痛的老年患者和54例无慢性疼痛的老年人。
样本主要为女性（67.6%），平均年龄79.9岁。疼痛组的平均心理弹性指数为69.4，无疼痛组为80.1（<0.001）。35.2%的慢性疼痛患者存在抑郁；无慢性疼痛者无抑郁病例。慢性疼痛老年人的生活质量在所有评估领域均较差：身体、心理、情感、社会、活力和疼痛。
