夏威夷原住民和其他太平洋岛民（NHOPI）与美国其他种族群体相比，经历了显着的健康差距。较低的预期寿命导致老年人在NHOPI人口分布中所占比例很小，但NHOPI老年人的人数正在增加。本文介绍了NHOPI老年人的数据，并讨论了持续健康差距的可能原因，包括历史创伤，歧视，改变生活方式和文化价值观。我们概述了有前途的干预与NHOPI，并为今后的研究提出建议。
Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders (NHOPI) experience significant health disparities compared with other racial groups in the United States. Lower life expectancy has resulted in small proportions of elders in the population distribution of NHOPI, yet the number of NHOPI elders is growing. This article presents data on NHOPI elders and discusses possible reasons for continuing health disparities, including historical trauma, discrimination, changing lifestyle, and cultural values. We outline promising interventions with NHOPI and make suggestions for future research.
