Physical resilience plays a crucial role in the body&#39;s capacity to adapt to challenges, and coping strategies are a key factor, ranging from positive, such as problem-solving, to negative, such as emotional eating. <b>Aims:</b> Assess the physical resiliency and coping strategies and its relationship with socio-demographical and clinical data among adults with obesity.</span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">Methods: </span></span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from 10 September 2025 to 8 May 2026.

Similarly, 56.7% demonstrated a moderate level of coping strategies. Significant differences were found between physical resiliency, coping strategies, and socio-demographic factors (age, sex, employment status, education level, economic status, smoking, and activities of daily living) at p < 0.05, with higher levels in the age group &ge;50 years. Clinically, significant associations were found with comorbidities and body mass index (BMI), as well as medication use and family history (p < 0.05).</span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">Conclusion: </span></span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">Physical resiliency and coping strategies play a significant role in obese adults. It also revealed that both physical resiliency and coping strategies were below acceptable levels and were influenced by several factors. Enhancing physical resilience and coping strategies through integrated healthcare and educational programs can improve health outcomes and quality of life.</span></span></span></span></span><br> &nbsp; Obesity,Physical resiliency,Coping strategies,Adults,Handicap. 1001 1009 http://ijwph.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-2429-2&slc_lang=en&sid=1 I.S.
