Objective: The study examined the links between health-related indicators, adult resilience, and burnout.

Method: The data were collected during two waves of the longitudinal study (in 2004-05, N = 98, and 2011-12, N = 88, respectively). Health behaviour, self-rated health (SRH), Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC), and Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure (SMBM) were measured.

Results: The comprehensibility of SOC and physical fatigue of SMBM as measured in wave 2 were determined by SRH as measured in wave 1. In the cross-sectional part, the meaningfulness of SOC was related to SRH, and alcohol consumption in wave 1. The comprehensibility of SOC was related to SRH in wave 2.

Conclusion: SOC is well known to have effect on health. However, the results show that self-reported health had effect on the comprehensibility of SOC. Our data also support the finding that the effect of SRH on burnout is stronger than the effect of burnout on SRH.

Keywords: sense of coherence, self-rated health, alcohol consumption, physical fatigue
