Introduction: The Growing Population Of Older Adults And Its Associated Consequences Have Made Identifying Factors That Promote Health And A Healthy Lifestyle A Priority For Healthcare Systems. Resilience, As An Important Psychological Capacity, May Facilitate Health-Promoting Behaviors By Enhancing Relationships Between Individuals. Therefore, This Study Aimed To Investigate The Relationship Between Resilience And Healthy Lifestyle Among Older Adults, With Emphasis On The Mediating Role Of Relationships Between Individuals, In Older Adults Referred To Health Centers In The Western Region Of Isfahan Province.

The Statistical Population Consisted Of Older Adults Referred To Health Centers In The Western Region Of Isfahan Province In 2026. A Total Of 388 Participants Were Selected Through Convenience Sampling.

In Addition, Relationships Between Individuals Had A Positive And Significant Effect On Healthy Lifestyle (Β = 0.770, P < 0.001). The Results Of The Indirect Effects Analysis Further Demonstrated That Relationships Between Individuals Played A Significant Partial Mediating Role In The Association Between Resilience And Healthy Lifestyle (Β = 0.280, P < 0.01).
