The conference provided broad discussion on the definition of resilience signals and the intricate dynamics of biomarkers of resilience across the three domains (Physical, Cognitive, and Psychosocial). Learning Objectives: (1) describe our current understanding of resilience biology and the impact of aging on stress-response systems; (2) list key mediators and moderators of resilience and their impact on biological systems; (3) identify biomarkers and stress tests associated with resilience in older adults.
