本研究探讨了英语语言能力和健康结果之间的关联，在一个区域概率样本（n = 205）的老年中国和韩国移民。数据支持这两个亚洲种族亚组在英语水平和健康相关的生活质量方面存在差异。中国和韩国老年人的健康状况比国家标准差，英语水平差与八项健康结果指标中的六项结果较差相关。卫生保健服务和社会工作的影响进行了讨论。
This study examined the association between English language proficiency and health outcomes in a regional probability sample (n = 205) of elderly Chinese and Korean immigrants. Data support that these two Asian ethnic subgroups differ in English proficiency and health-related quality of life. Chinese and Korean elders had poorer health than the national norms, and poor English proficiency was associated with poorer outcomes for six of eight health outcomes measures. Implications for health care delivery and social work are discussed.
