移民的老龄化是美国老龄人口健康动态的一个关键组成部分。迄今为止，很少有研究涉及群体内的多样性，并将当代全球联系的背景与老年移民的老龄化经历联系起来。本研究旨在从概念上了解特定移民群体（纽约市的印度移民）衰老动态的多样性。分析了全球化和跨国联系对2组内的印度人在65岁或以上时来到美国（LLIs）和那些在早期来到美国（ELIs）的老龄化经历的影响。社会工作的实践，研究和政策的影响进行了讨论。
The aging of immigrants is a critical component in the health dynamics of the nation's aging population. To date, few studies have addressed within-group diversity and linked contemporary contexts of global connectedness with the aging experiences of older immigrants. This study aims to conceptually understand the diversity in aging dynamics within a specific immigrant group: Indian immigrants in New York City. The impact of globalization and transnational connection on aging experiences on 2 within groups-Indians who came to the United States at age of 65 or older (LLIs) and those who came at an early age (ELIs) are analyzed. Implications for social work practice, research and policy are discussed.
