RESUMENObjetivo. Relacionar la capacidad de resiliencia de un grupo de adultos mayores autovalentes de la comuna de Chillán Viejo (Chile) respecto a sus estilos de vida. Material y métodos: Estudio de tipo correlacional y de corte transversal de 176 adultos mayores autovalentes de ambos sexos entre 65 y 85 años de edad asistentes a un centro de salud primaria de la comuna de Chillán Viejo Región del Bío-Bío, Chile. Se aplicó la escala Resiliencia de Wagnild y young adaptada por las autoras del estudio; empleándose la prueba de χ 2 o la prueba exacta de Fischer, cuando correspondiera, considerándose como significancia estadística p<0,05. Resultados. El 82,4% de los participantes del estudio poseen una alta capacidad de resiliencia. Se observó que la capacidad de resiliencia depende significativamente de la situación de pareja (p=0,002), la mantención de actividad sexual (p=0,008), las actividades recreativas (p=0,015) y el estado de ánimo (p=0,001). Conclusión. Existen características de sus estilos de vida que se relacionan en mayor medida a su nivel de resiliencia, que le permite enfrentar cambios propios del proceso natural de envejecimiento de los adultos mayores. Palabras clave:Resiliencia, adulto mayor, estilo de vida, actividades cotidianas. ABSTRACTObjective: Relate the resilience of a group of self-reliant elderly from Chillan Viejo County (Chile) with their life style. Design: Co relational and cross-sectional study of 176 self reliant both sexes elderly between 65 and 85 years old attending a primary health care unit at Chillán Viejo County, Bío-Bío Region, Chile. Wagnild and young Resilience Scale, adapted by the authors of this research, was applied using the χ 2 test or the Fishers exact test, when necessary, considering as statistically significant, p <0.05. Results: 82.4% of the subjects of study have a high resilience. It was observed that the resilience depends significantly on the condition of living with a partner (p=0.002), the capacity of sexual activity (p= 0.008), the recreational activities (p= 0.015) and the mood condition (p=0.001). Conclusion. There are characteristics in their life styles that relate themselves in a greater extent to their level of resilience which enables them to face changes that are typical of the natural process of aging among older adults.
