这项研究探讨了如何影响的身体和心理健康的韩裔美国老年人的邻里特征（即，生活在贫困线以下的个人的比例，65岁及以上的个人的比例，以及种族/少数民族的人口普查块组中的比例，每个受访者居住）。健康感知（即对自己健康的主观评价）和抑郁症状被用作身体和精神健康的指标。多层次分析进行了嵌套在233个人口普查区块组（在2级）567个人（在1级）。在控制了个人的人口统计学和健康特征后，我们发现，邻里贫困预测健康的看法。研究结果增加了越来越多的文献对社会环境的影响，并建议，邻里的特点，应考虑到在制定基于社区的政策，种族/民族多元化的人口。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2016阿帕，保留所有权利）
This study explored how the physical and mental health of Korean American older adults were influenced by neighborhood characteristics (ie, proportion of individuals living below the poverty level, proportion of individuals 65 years of age and older, and proportion of racial/ethnic minorities in the census block groups where each respondent lived). Health perceptions (ie, the subjective appraisal of one's own health) and depressive symptoms were used as indicators of physical and mental health. Multilevel analyses were performed with 567 individuals (at Level 1) nested within 233 census block groups (at Level 2). After controlling for individual demographic and health characteristics, we found that neighborhood poverty predicted health perceptions. The results add to the growing literature on the influence of the social environment and suggest that neighborhood characteristics should be taken into consideration in developing community-based policies for racially/ethnically diverse populations.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
