Physiological Resilience Definition

Meaning

Physiological Resilience Definition establishes the measurable capacity of a biological system, such as the endocrine or immune system, to rapidly recover and return to its baseline homeostatic state following an acute or chronic stressor. It is a quantitative assessment of the body’s adaptive reserve and its ability to resist allostatic overload. A robust definition encompasses metrics of hormonal recovery rate, inflammatory resolution time, and the stability of metabolic parameters post-challenge. This definition is central to the clinical assessment of biological age and healthspan.
