由于各种原因，包括接触和接触主流文化、相互竞争的族裔身份以及语言能力和偏好，文化适应对少数群体老年人来说是一个困难的过程。关于美国华裔老年人文化适应的总体水平的研究很少。本研究的目的是提供一个整体的估计水平的中国老年人在美国的文化适应，并检查社会人口特征，自我报告的健康措施和文化适应水平之间的相关性。数据来源于芝加哥中国老年人群研究（PINE）。这项以社区为基础的参与式研究调查了3,159名60岁及以上的中国老年人。PINE研究的文化适应量表被用来评估三个方面的文化适应水平：语言偏好，媒体使用，和种族社会关系。所有项目的平均文化适应水平为15.3 ± 5.1，表明文化适应水平较低。年龄较大、子女较多、收入较低、在美国生活的时间较短、总体健康状况较低以及生活质量较低与文化适应水平较低有关。中国老年人的文化适应水平较低，某些人群的文化适应水平更低。未来的研究应探讨文化适应水平的因果关系和影响。
Acculturation is a difficult process for minority older adults for a variety of reasons, including access and exposure to mainstream culture, competing ethnic identities, and linguistic ability and preference. There is a paucity of research regarding overall level of acculturation for Chinese older adults in the United States. This study aimed to provide an overall estimate of level of acculturation of Chinese older adults in the United States and to examine correlations between sociodemographic characteristics, self-reported health measures, and level of acculturation. Data were collected through the Population Study of Chinese Elderly in Chicago (PINE) study. This community-based participatory research study surveyed 3,159 Chinese older adults aged 60 and older. The PINE Study Acculturation Scale was used to assess level of acculturation in three dimensions: language preference, media use, and ethnic social relations. Mean acculturation level for all items was 15.3 ± 5.1, indicating low levels of acculturation. Older age, more offspring, lower income, fewer years living in the United States, lower overall health status, and lower quality of life were associated with lower levels of acculturation. Level of acculturation was low in Chinese older adults, and certain subsets of the population were more likely to have a lower level of acculturation. Future research should investigate causality and effects of level of acculturation.
