Challenges and healthy ageing: the role of resilience across the life course (ResNet)

公共政策和社会对如何在整个生命周期中维持和提高健康和生活质量以及人们如何应对老龄化进程的各种挑战非常感兴趣。适应力很重要，因为它可能是解释一生中对风险的抵抗力的关键，以及人们如何？反弹吗?处理健康问题。适应力可以使人们了解如何在逆境和挑战面前保持健康和幸福。我们希望为整个生命周期的复原力和健康老龄化的研究、政策和实践创造新的知识。为此，我们将在不同学科和机构之间建立网络伙伴关系。我们的目标是团结人们，巩固现有的证据和意见，以便我们能够为未来的研究制定计划。该网络将使人们能够讨论从早期到老年晚期可能影响复原力的所有不同因素。这些因素包括人们居住的地方，他们得到的支持，生物和心理特征。我们将讨论有关弹性定义的问题，以及如何检查和促进弹性。该网络将编制科学和普遍的关键问题公报。通过咨询会议，我们将讨论科学在未来研究、健康老龄化政策和实践中的意义、应用和潜在用途。这将确保我们的工作得到普遍理解并获得最大利益。

There is considerable interest within public policy and society as to how health and quality of life can be maintained and enhanced across the lifespan, and how people respond to the various challenges of the ageing process.Resilience is important as it could be the key to explaining resistance to risk across the lifespan and how people ?bounce back? and deal with problems such as ill health. Resilience can enable an understanding of how health and well-being can be maintained in the face of adversity and challenge. We wish to generate new knowledge for research, policy and practice on resilience and healthy ageing across the life span. To achieve this we will to form a network partnership between different academic disciplines and organisations. Our aim is to unite people and consolidate existing evidence and opinion so that we can develop a plan for future research. The network will enable discussion of all the different factors that might impact on resilience from early to advanced older age. These include the places people live, the support they receive, biological and psychological characteristics. We will address problems regarding definitions of resilience, and how it might be examined and promoted. The network will develop scientific and universal bulletins of the key issues. Through consultation meetings we will discuss the meaning, application and potential usefulness of the science in future research, healthy ageing policies and practice. This will ensure our work is universally understood and of maximum benefit.
