Aging and resilience in Vietnamese American older adults: Evidence from the Vietnamese Insights into Cognitive Aging Program.
Article in International psychogeriatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesVietnamese American older adults have endured early life adversity and war-related trauma exposures, which are associated with worse aging outcomes. However, not all individuals experience poor outcomes, suggesting the possibility of protective factors. We examined associations between early life adversity, war-related exposures, and later life outcomes, and whether later life resilience moderated these associations.
designThis was a cross-sectional study.
settingEnrollment occurred at two community-based sites in California.
participantsParticipants were from the Vietnamese Insights into Cognitive Aging Program (VIP), a longitudinal cohort study of older Vietnamese Americans. MEASUREMENTS: Predictors included war-related exposures, early life adversity, and psychological resilience. Outcome variables were depression symptoms, perceived stress, and global cognition.
resultsWe analyzed data for 511 participants in VIP (mean age = 72.6, SD = 5.1). A jointly-estimated moderation model using Bayesian linear regression revealed conditional associations of wartime evacuation/displacement with greater depression symptoms (β = 0.183, 95% CI [0.085, 0.280]), and exposure to harsh conditions and witnessing death with greater perceived stress at the mean level of resiliency (β = 0.160, 95% CI [0.046, 0.270]). Greater resilience attenuated the strength of association between exposure to harsh conditions and witnessing death with depression symptoms (β = -0.111, 95% CI [-0.200, -0.023]).
conclusionsThese findings potentially support stress-buffering theories and identify resilience as a possible protective factor in this older Vietnamese American sample. Results underscore the need for longitudinal studies to examine the role of resilience in buffering early life adversity on late life health and well-being.
