本研究的目的是探讨移民过渡到胃肠道（GI）症状的关联在绝经过渡期间经历的974中年妇女在美国的两个国家的互联网调查研究的974中年妇女的数据被用于此二次分析。仅纳入了与背景特征和健康/绝经状态、移民过渡和中年女性胃肠道症状指数相关的数据。资料分析采用描述性和推论性统计，包括协方差分析、逻辑回归分析和分层多元回归分析。移民和非移民之间总GI症状的总数量和总严重程度评分存在统计学差异（F = 7.08和6.20，分别;均p <0.05）;移民的总数量和总严重程度评分低于非移民。所有移民过渡变量，包括移民身份，在美国停留的时间，文化适应水平占总人数的11.8%（F = 32.79，p <0.001），占GI症状严重程度总评分的12.5%（F = 35.10，p <0.001）。然而，只有移民身份（非移民）是与GI症状的总人数和总严重程度评分较高相关的重要因素（分别为β = 0.62，p < .001和β = 0.65，p < .001）。这项研究支持移民状况是影响绝经过渡期胃肠道症状的重要因素。
This study aimed to explore the associations of immigration transition to gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms experienced during the menopausal transition among 974 midlife women in the U.S. The data among 974 midlife women from two national Internet survey studies were used for this secondary analysis. Only the data related to background characteristics and health/menopausal status, immigration transition, and the Gastrointestinal Symptom Index for Midlife Women were included. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics including ANCOVA, logistic regression analyses and hierarchical multiple regression analyses. There were statistical differences in total numbers and total severity scores of total GI symptoms between immigrants and non-immigrant (F = 7.08 and 6.20, respectively; both p < .05); Immigrants had fewer total numbers and lower total severity scores of GI symptoms than non-immigrants. All immigration transition variables including immigration status, the length of stay in the U.S., and the acculturation level accounted for 11.8% of the total numbers (F = 32.79, p < .001) and 12.5% of the total severity scores of GI symptoms (F = 35.10, p < .001). However, only immigration status (being non-immigrant) was a significant factor that was associated with greater total numbers and higher total severity scores of GI symptoms (β = 0.62, p < .001 and β = 0.65, p < .001, respectively). This study supports that immigration status was a significant factor that influences GI symptoms during the menopausal transition.
