在过去20年里，亚裔美国人是美国人口增长最快的部分。从2010年到2019年，所有亚洲人的人口增长率为34%，而所有美国人的人口增长率为6%(Budiman，2020)。在65岁及以上的老年人口中，亚裔美国人也是增长最快的少数群体(Budiman&Ruiz，2021)。亚裔美国老年人口在2019年为250万，预计到2060年将增长到790万。2019年，亚裔美国人占老年人口的4.6%。到2060年，这一比例预计将达到8%(社区生活管理局，2021年)。亚裔美国人的国籍和语言非常不同，有50多个种族，100种不同的语言和方言(Budiman，2020)。大多数亚裔美国人的根可以追溯到东亚、东南亚和印度次大陆国家。以下六个原籍群体占美国亚洲人口的大多数(85%)：中国人、菲律宾人、印度人、越南人、韩国人和日本人。除夏威夷原住民和其他太平洋岛民外，亚裔美国人占美国老年移民人口的31%，到2055年将超过拉美裔，成为最大的移民群体(Mizoguchi等人，2019年)，他们代表着不同的文化信仰和习俗、收入、教育水平、地理位置、宗教、语言、移民模式和文化适应程度(Budiman&Ruiz，2021)。因此，在本文中，亚裔美国人一词不包括夏威夷原住民和其他太平洋岛民。
Asian Americans were the fastest-growing population segment in the United States in the last two decades. The population growth of all Asians was 34% from 2010 to 2019, compared with 6% for all Americans (Budiman, 2020). In the older population, aged 65 years and above, Asian Americans are also the fastest-growing minority group (Budiman & Ruiz, 2021). The older Asian American population was 2.5 million in 2019 and is projected to grow to 7.9 million by 2060. In 2019, Asian Americans made up 4.6% of the older population. By 2060, the percentage is projected to be 8%(Administration for Community Living, 2021). Asian Americans are very diverse in their nations of origins and languages, with more than 50 ethnicities and 100 different languages and dialects (Budiman, 2020). Most Asian Americans trace their roots to countries in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. The following six origin groups account for the majority of the US Asian population (85%): Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese. Aside from Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders, Asian Americans accounted for 31% of the US older immigrant’s population and by the year 2055 will surpass Hispanics as the largest immigrant group (Mizoguchi et al., 2019), and they represent distinct cultural beliefs and customs, incomes, levels of education, geographic locations, religions, languages, immigration patterns, and levels of acculturation (Budiman & Ruiz, 2021). Thus, in this paper, the term Asian Americans did not include Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islanders.
