Resilience Quotient Index

Meaning

The Resilience Quotient Index is a composite, quantitative metric designed to estimate an individual’s overall capacity to adapt successfully and recover efficiently from various forms of physical, emotional, or cognitive stress. This index synthesizes data from multiple physiological systems, including autonomic nervous system balance, hormonal reserve, and sleep quality. A higher index score suggests a robust allostatic capacity and a lower susceptibility to stress-induced illness or performance decline. It serves as a clinical benchmark for assessing systemic robustness and guiding recovery protocols.
